Social Studies BJC Set 2 Practice Test

The main idea is seeking a place to practice religion freely. The Eleutheran Adventurers were English Puritans who left Bermuda because they wanted to worship and organize their community without the restrictions of the established church. They chose the Bahamas and named their settlement Eleuthera—from the Greek for liberty—to signal that liberty. While there were some economic hopes, the force driving their voyage was the opportunity to practice their religion without persecution or interference. That’s why freedom of religion is the best answer.
