Which group settled in america to escape religious persecution? puritans quakers baptists catholics

Answer;

Puritans

Explanation;

Escaping Religious Persecution, Pilgrims and Puritans came specifically to practice religious beliefs freely and to spread the gospel.

In the 1500s England broke away from the Roman Catholic Church and formed its own church called the Church of England.

However, the Separatists also known as the Pilgrims wanted nothing to do with that church.  And as a result they were persecuted and harassed by followers of the new Church of England and accused of being traitors of the state.

Many of these people feared for their lives, so under the leadership of William Bradford the Separatist decided to leave and go to a land where they could worship freely.

In 1630 the Puritans also left England in search of religious freedom. The puritans left England because they wanted to become pure and get rid of any evil associated with the Church of England.
