Answer:
1. They wanted to practice their own religion.
2. the Netherlands.
3. the failure of New Netherland.
Explanation:
1. The Pilgrims and Puritans came to America to practice religious freedom. In the 1500s England broke away from the Roman Catholic Church and created a new church called the Church of England.
2. First, the Dutch took over in 1655 and the area became part of New Netherland. Then, in 1664, a British fleet arrived and conquered the region, naming it New York. Delaware became part of the Pennsylvania colony in 1682 and was known as the "Lower Counties on the Delaware."
3. Holland did not lose New Netherland through force. Nieuw Amsterdam was New York from 1664 to 1673, but in that year it became Dutch once more, this time under the name Nieuw Oranje, `New Orange.' Nieuw Oranje started its short life because of a new war between England and Holland in 1673
