Mark the statement if it accurately describes English settlement in North America. A. The first permanent English settlement in North America began as a quest for gold. B. Many settlers came to North America seeking religious freedom. C. After living in Plymouth a year, the settlers celebrated by adopting the Mayflower Compact. D. Captain John Smith was responsible for helping Virginia colonists produce tobacco as a cash crop.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'd say A.

OpenStudy (ladiesman217):

I would say it's B. Since a lot of people were trying to get away from the Church of England... So they came to North America

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

Well there is multiple answers :/

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

So you got any more answers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not too sure about this, but I'll try

OpenStudy (ladiesman217):

If it was Central America I would say A.( because the Spaniards heard there was gold in the "new world" so people came. But North America its B.

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

B,C,D maybe :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, good point; Yeah I didn't read it well..So mark out A and let's look at the others

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To be honest, B seems to be the best answer here..like ladiesman said

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

How about D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Doesn't really seem relevant to the topic of the question o:

OpenStudy (ladiesman217):

Think about the pilgrims. The pilgrims came to North America in order to escape from the Church of England (religious freedom) at the time. So I'd say it's B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

From what I remember, the English did mainly seek freedom(mainly religious) therefore creating a new found land; They couldn't freely worship their own religious views under the rule of certain people..so it seems logical that B is the best answer

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

So A,B, and C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mark out A and D...those aren't right..I still say B is the best choice

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C doesn't seem to fit as well

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

ok

If you need any more help later on, just @(my name) :)
