Factors Shaping Colonial America: Religious and Economic Influences

This overview explores the key factors that shaped Colonial America, focusing on the religious and economic events that led to colonization. Key settlements include Plymouth (1620) by Pilgrims seeking refuge from Church of England persecution, and the Massachusetts Bay Colony (1629) settled by Puritans aiming to reform their church rather than separate. Additionally, Pennsylvania (1670) was founded by Quakers, emphasizing freedom of faith. Each colony reflects the diverse motivations and challenges faced by early American settlers.
