The 3G'S
G-d:Many of the early European explorers came to North America as missionaries, to convert the indigenous population. Also, once the situation in Europe began to change, many of the sects that were not welcome in Europe moved the North America to escape persecution.
Glory:Tied in with gold in many ways, this was both personal glory and glory for ones own country. There was a lot of prestige associated with founding a new settlement or discovering a new natural resource and so many of the explorers sought to 'out-glory' one another and become the most well-known.
