C.they wanted to start their own churches

Explanation:

In New England, the northwestern region of what is now the United States of America, the English Puritans established several colonies. So named because they wanted to purify the Anglican Church from the influence of the  Rome`s Church, they thought that the England`s Church had adopted too many practices from Rome. Being subjected to continuous internal persecution, they decided to flee to the territories of North America, with the intention of founding a colony based on their own religious ideals. The first group of Puritans, known as the pilgrims, crossed the Atlantic on a ship called Mayflower, and although they had received authorization from the London Company to settle in their territories they were expelled northward, settling in Plymouth in the current State of Massachusetts in 1620.

what is the "this" there is no picture

- "the civil rights movements"

- "following the american civil war and abolition of slavery, the united states entered a period known as reconstruction, during which black americans continued to suffer from disenfranchisement, racial segregation, and economic oppression. beginning in the early 1950's, black americans launched a series of major campaigns of civil resistance, emphasizing the need for nonviolent protests and civil disobedience."

"such as the montgomery bus boycott of 1955-56, a campaign launched by rosa parks against the policy of racial segregation of the public transit system in alabama. “sit-ins” became popular across the american south, particularly in greensboro, north carolina, increase national sentiment."

- "the counterculture movement"

- "counterculture began to develop in the united states following the rise of conformity in american culture during the 1950s. by 1963, youth, particularly those of the white middle class, began rejecting the cultural standards and normality of their parents, opting for progressive attitudes instead. the movement gained momentum as the civil rights movement became increasingly successful and as the u.s. military intervention of vietnam began to take a negative turn."

"hippie counterculture moved further into popular culture following the summer of love in 1967 when thousands of people came together in the haight-ashbury neighborhood of san francisco. along with greenwich village in new york city, haight-ashbury became a hub for the counterculture movement."
