Jeramiah Mendoza · Answer 1

Freedom from taxes, religious persecution, and economic gain

Reilly Benjamin · Answer 2

The answers should be A) and B) Freedom from taxes and religious persecution because Europeans wanted to stop paying taxes because they weren't making as much money as they wanted to, so they wanted to end it, and religious persecution because not all people had the same beliefs so some wanted to be free and not be put in trial for their beliefs.
