Answer 1

Religion played a significant role in the settlement of the New England colonies. The Puritans, who sought to reform the Church of England, established strict religious communities based on their beliefs and values. They sought religious freedom and created an environment centered around spirituality. Evidence from the lesson includes the establishment of the Massachusetts Bay Colony by Puritans, the formation of the Congregational Church, and the emphasis on religious education in the colonies.
