Government
In the colony of New York there is a awesome government that will let you have a say about religious freedom whether you are a Quaker, Jew, Catholic or Christian. The first person who owned the colony was a king who was appointed by British royalty, and the governor appointed other officials. This means he told people if they could work with the government and he also enforced laws to keep his people safe. Then he gave his colony to his brother Duke of York!
The people who could vote were white men, but in the 1700s the government changed it to not just white men, but Caucasian women could vote as well so it would be fair. The government was good for local people because
people were able to attend religious churches and they
could celebrate their religion. No one was allowed to tell them what they can and can't celebrate. For instance, the fact that that people couldn't celebrate their own religion in some colonies was not fair to them so this made the New York government awesome because they let people have religious freedom instead of not letting people have religious rights. That's why you should come to New York because you would get to have your own rights that would be fair for you and your religion. I hope you decide to move here to this amazing colony with a awesome government!
