One reason for why they came to the New World is because they could practice their own religion there.
Explanation:
People all over the nation, even the world, responded with donations of clothing, food, and shelter. Doctors, nurses and Clara Barton and the American Red Cross arrived to provide medical assistance and emergency shelter and supplies. The Johnstown Flood was the first major disaster served by the recently formed Red Cross. Doctors worried especially about diseases that might breed in the unclean water and decaying bodies of humans and animals.
Undertakers volunteered for the gruesome task of preparing over 2,000 bodies for burial. 700 of the victims could not be identified. They were buried together in a new cemetery built high above the town. Recovering the bodies took weeks and cleaning up debris took months. Five thousand homes had been destroyed, so many families lived in tents. During recovery and relief efforts the state of Pennsylvania put Johnstown under martial (military) law, since many of the towns leaders had perished in the flood. General Hastings took charge for several months, making sure relief supplies went to survivors who needed them and keeping the press from taking over the town.

A. "The Times They Are A-Changin
The bloodless coup was the Glorious Revolution of 1688. It was the overthrow of James ll of England, who became king after his brother’s death in 1685.
The Catholic king James ll wanted the Catholic Church to coexist with the Anglican Church but Parliament didn’t want; in fact, in 1673 Parliament passed the Test Act which forbade any Catholic to be a member of either the Commons or the Lords.
James hadn’t had a son yet, in consequence his daughter Mary, who was Protestant and married to William of Orange (also Protestant), would be the queen according to the line of succession, but in June of 1688 James ll had his son, James, and that destroyed all hopes to have a Protestant ruler.
Because of the born of James’s son, members of Parliament, who were against James, invited William of Orange to invade Britain. William entered London but the crown was offered to Mary, so William said he would leave Britain unless he became king. The members of Parliament had no choice and offered the crown to him and Mary. Parliament had decided that James ll had lost his right to the crown, the reason was that he tried to undermine “the constitution of the kingdom by breaking the original contract between King and People.” People was represented by Parliament and as a result Parliament should be the overall power in the state.
The Glorious Revolution was more a <em>coup d’etat</em> by the ruling class because parliament made William king, not by inheritance but by their choice. From this moment, Parliament was more powerful than the king.
