American colonists were unlike people in most colonies and nations because of what reason?
Answer (2)
I think the major reason why American colonists were different is because they came to a new land to flee persecution from their government. In what I have learned about societies forming colonies, many colonies were formed in other countries because a nation had control of that country. Take the Greek empire for example. The Greek citizens moved to counties that Greece had invaded and dwelt among those people and learned from them as well. In the Americas no one had really formed a colony or claimed the land for their country. Hopefully this helps.
American colonists were unique in that they sought religious freedom, had diverse origins, valued self-governance, and established independent economies. These factors contributed to a distinct identity that set them apart from other colonial regions. The combination of these elements played a significant role in shaping American society and its later quest for independence.
