Answer: The journey was long and uncertain.
Explanation:
Until the nineteenth century, the Industrial Revolution, and the launching of steamships, Europe's journey to the New World was long and uncertain. For example, people used to travel from Great Britain for over two months, depending on the weather. Many people have lost their lives on these trips due to various circumstances. Migrating to North America from Europe was not at all easy. For example, John Winthrop, the first governor of New England's colony, lost over 200 people on his way to North America. Coming to North America was the nicer part of that trip. The colonists were free to organize as they wished because it was for these reasons that they mostly left Europe.
