How did events of the Protestant Reformation motivate religious groups to migrate to the New World?
(Select all that apply.)
A. Pope Innocent III launched Crusades against English Pilgrims that caused them to flee to the New World.
B. French Huguenots fled persecution from Catholics by seeking refuge in the New World.
C. Ottoman Turks invaded Istanbul and led many Christians to flee to the New World.
D. Puritans renounced the Anglican Church and sought refuge in the New World.
I think it is a and b
Anon, why do you lie?
I agree about B
What is your problem with D?
There were crusades in England?
The Turks indeed took Constantinople in 1453 but did that drive the Greek Christians to America? They must have been close behind Columbus :)
Thank you both !!
One of your answers is right; the other is wrong.
What does your text say?
I'm doing a backtrack quiz which is basically like making sure that i remember everything from the semester so there isnt one specific piece of text I can refer to... I think I am going to go with B & D right?
Yes, B and D.
Oh well, I am back tracking to when I took it in 1953 :)
Actually, neither option A nor option C played a significant role in motivating religious groups to migrate to the New World during the Protestant Reformation. The correct answers are B and D.
Option B is correct: French Huguenots, who were Protestant followers, faced persecution from Catholics due to their religious beliefs. Many Huguenots sought refuge in the New World to escape this religious persecution.
Option D is also correct: The Puritans, a group of English Protestants, renounced the Church of England (Anglican Church) in their pursuit of more religious freedom. They believed that the Anglican Church had not fully separated from Catholicism and wanted a more purified form of worship. The Puritans, including the Pilgrims, sought refuge in the New World to establish communities where they could practice their religion without interference.
So, the correct options are B and D.
