In the 1500s, Europe witnessed a period of religious turmoil and many religious groups faced prosecution and persecution. The Protestant Reformation played a vital role in breaking the unity of Christendom that led to the creation of several radical and moderate folds within Christianity like the Calvinists, Lutherans, Anglicans, Presbyterians, and Puritans. Many Europeans arrived in the New World to escape religious oppression and persecution and started to set up colonies in North America. These Europeans refused to abandon their religious convictions and established their colonies in North America to practice their faith freely.
