1. The people who are onboard the Mayflower are a mixture of religious separatists and people who want a better future in the New World. These people wanted to avoid the religious persecutions that are happening in their country, so they fled to the New Worlds.
2. The compact was created by the English royals to avoid the saints and sinners to go against each other. The compact was made to assure that the people of the new colony will live with peace and in accordance of the doctrines and traditions of the English Empire.
3. The English colony wanted to avoid dispute inside their territory.
4. I think the answer is self-governance.
It is the 3rd one
explanation
The correct answer is:
Colonists avoided the rugged, difficult Cumberland Gap.
The Cumberland Gap was long used by Native Americans, was brought to the attention of settlers in 1750 by Thomas Walker, a Virginia physician and explorer. The path was used by a team of frontiersmen led by Daniel Boone, making it accessible to pioneers who used it to journey into the western frontiers of Kentucky and Tennessee. It was very hard for colonists to go through mountains. The Indian Americans were the ones who discovered it.
What does that mean...? the native Americans are originally from the land where the USA is. Does that help?
