5. What is one reason colonists came to America? A. education
B. better health
C. elect a new king
D. religious freedom

D

Explanation:

In the 1600s and 1700s, colonists from England and other European countries sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to the American colonies. Some left Europe to escape religious restrictions or persecution, to practice their religion freely.

Many came for political freedom, and some came for economic opportunity. These freedoms and opportunities often did not exist in the colonists’ home countries.

For these settlers, the American colonies were a chance for freedom and a new life. Today, many people come to the United States for these same reasons.
