A lot of the reason why English, French, and Dutch came to North America was due to what happened in Latin America.
Also, it would really make little sense to settle a poorer area when all the gold and treasure lies in the south. Originally no one wanted colonies, they wanted either gold or a passage to Asia for trading purposes. The English and French colonization aspect came later when Spanish and Portugese colonies started showing that cash crops were the next best thing to plundering gold.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
