WTH are you talking about? I didn't say there were no religious settlements. I said the first were business enterprises. Is 1607 a smaller or bigger number than 1620?You need to check you history, BS.
The Puritans
The Puritans were members of a religious reform movement that arose in the late 16th century and held that the Church of England should eliminate ceremonies and practices not rooted in the Bible.www.history.com

Libs love revisionist history.
"The Thirteen Colonies were the colonies on the Atlantic coast of North America, starting with Virginia in 1607"
from your link on the Puritans:
"In 1620, a group of Separatists known as the Pilgrims settled in New England and established the Plymouth Colony."
Thanks for proving me right.
Pubs love not understanding any history?
