5. Using the information you gathered from the ship manifests and the chart above, it is now time to answer the question asked at the beginning of the lesson: “Is America a place for people to come to start a family and enjoy freedom OR is America a place people come to make money?” Your answer must be a paragraph of 4-6 complete sentences, include a topic sentence and 3 pieces of evidence from the lesson to support your opinion. (7 points possible)

I believe America could be a place to start a family. The first reason it would be a place to start a family is because you will have the freedom of religion which was one of the biggest reason people came to the Americas. It also seemed the people going to New England had lots of children and were wealthy so if they were trying to get rich they would have stayed in their country they came from. most of the people going to Virginia and New England where in their mid 20s so they would probably go to the Americas to start a family. So the most logical reason for these people to move to America was to start a family.
