Throughout the 17th and early 18ht century there have been individuals and groups of people that have made them selves known for what they do. Some people make religion bad and some make it better it depends on how you look at it. Like George Whitefield and Jonathan Edwards, They helped people into religion during the Great Awakening. Roger Williams helped in his any way by making a refuge for religious minorities. But there are a variety of branches of religion like Puritans, Separatists, Huguenots, and Congregationalist. The puritans and the Huguenots are both protestants, the only difference is that the Huguenots are French. The Congregationalists were in colloquial words, hardcore religious people. The Separatist were just evil they criticized the church of England and wanted it destroyed.
The pilgrims brought over religion from England. There were plenty of religious people like Anne Hutchison but there were more soldiers and more upper rank people who helped built Jamestown, which was John Smith. John was saved by Pocahontas she was part pt the powhatan. John Smith was like Sir Walter Raleigh, they were explorers. I think that if Benjamin Franklin would’ve discovered electricity sooner then things would’ve been much smoother.
