If YOU were there...
The people of your village in France have always
belonged to the same church. Now, in the 1600s, your
village is divided over religious beliefs. You have heard
about the Dutch colony of New Netherland in America,
where people can practice any religion freely. You would
like to leave for America, but your parents are unwilling
to leave their home.
How would you persuade your
family to emigrate?
