Mostly, they were indentured servants. The native American population had been decimated by disease and mistreatment by Europeans; so there was a big demand for laborers in America. Extremely poor people in Europe couldn't make much of anything in wages in Europe, but if they signed on to be an indentured servant for 3-5 years, then they were given free passage to America. After completing their indentured servant obligation, they were free to do whatever they wanted.

Which came first pi or pie?
Pi as a letter in the greek alphabet that was used from early 8th century BC. If you are refering to the mathematical constant pi it was known even earlier than 20th century BC. If you want to connect these two as in usage of pi as the symbol for the mathematical constant then that was done in the early 1700s and made popular by Euler in the mid 1700s. Pie as a word is first found in the 12th century english, and I think that the pastry itself has some longer history, but I doubt it goes earlier than the 8th century BC.
