Question

How might European religion later affect the settlement of North America?

Answer 1

To many, Europeans were very religious. So religion was the way of life for them. So they would bring their beliefs with them. Religious prosecution was also a main thing.

Answer 2

European religious practices were so restrictive that's what led to the Pilgrims departing for North America. Religious persecution and questioning church practices led various sects to break away from Catholic Church as well as the Church of England. (hope this helps)
