". columbus thought 'that it must be india but it was not. it was a new land — a new continent. it was america. columbus named the land they had reached san salvador ("holy saviour"). people began to speak about the land as "the new world". european people came to the new world for many reasons. some hoped to find gold and silver. priests and missionaries came to bring the christian religion to the indians. among those who came for freedom was a small group of english people called pilgrims. they wanted to start a new life and to have no religious problems they had in england. in 1620 on the ship "mayflower" they landed in the north-east of america. they set up a colony and called that part of the country "new england".
