The Pilgrims and the Puritans established colonies in the New World to practice their religions freely.

The Pilgrim Fathers was an English religious group formed in the late sixteenth century that, being dissatisfied with the political-religious environment in their country, decided to emigrate to the New World in 1620.

The Pilgrim Fathers left the port of Plymouth (England) on the Mayflower ship on August 15, 1620 and, crossing the Atlantic Ocean, intended to reach the Jamestown colony -founded in 1607- but strong storms prevented it by pushing about 800 km further north, to Cape Cod, where they arrived on November 9 of the same year. Shortly after they founded Plymouth that would be the capital of the homonymous colony, which existed until 1691, year in which it was united with the Colony of the bay of Massachusetts forming the Province of the Bay of Massachusetts.

The Pilgrim Fathers were gathered together by the Calvinist puritanical church and took refuge from religious persecutions and from the political instability that existed in Europe.

The Pilgrims and Puritans established colonies in the New World to practice their religions freely.

Further Explanation:

During the 17th century, European exploration was extremely common. Many European countries like Great Britain, France, Spain, and Portugal were expanding their empires into the North American continent. When establishing these colonies, European countries needed people to settle there. Many took the opportunity to escape the oppression they faced in their current country to start over new in North America.

An example of this would be the Puritans and Pilgrims. Even though they were both English Protestants, they both had problems with the Anglican Church (aka Church of England). The Pilgrims wanted to completely separate from the Anglican Church and create a new society where they were not discriminated against because of their beliefs. The Puritans wanted to fix (aka purify) the Anglican Church but wanted to do so without facing persecution. Both of these groups would establish colonies in the New World. The Pilgrims would establish the Plymouth Colony and the Puritans would establish the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

Which lobe of the cortex is primarily involved in the following feeling or behavior?"Feeling your arms are in pain after working

dimaraw [331]

Answer: Parietal lobe

Explanation: The parietal lobe is the part of the brain which interpret pains and touch on the body. The parietal lobe is the alarm of the body. It tells the body the consequences of any nerves it received from the sensory nerves.

For you to feel pains in the arm after a work out, is an alarm to the body that the arm has been stressed, and if this continues the arm may be damaged. This lobe interpret the pains of injury inside and out side the body. It also works together with the motor neurons during a sharp removal of the hand from a hot object.

The feeling of the pains in the arm may have not been noticed during work, because the injury been caused to the arm is still very light, and the Parietal lobe interprets it in a lighter way that the body don't notice, because the occipital lobe which is doing the work has more signal to the body at that moment. But when relaxed, the signal the occipital lobe gives the body has reduced, then the body can now notice the signal from the Parietal lobe.
