Question 10 • LA-US History A ? Distance Learning

The most important pull factor for immigrants to colonial America was

Answer
A
factory jobs.
B
abundant land.
C
religious persecution.
D
overpopulation.

Explanation

Abundant land was the strongest pull factor because it offered immigrants the chance to farm, own property, and improve their livelihoods. Factory jobs were not yet widespread in colonial America, while religious persecution and overpopulation were conditions that could push people away from their homelands rather than pull them to the colonies.
