New England?

New England colonists' lives revolved around religion

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

As a result of their Puritan beliefs, the center of life for colonists in New England was religion through the local church.

In the 16th century in England, Puritans started a Reformation movement that was not accepted by the Church of England. Puritans were persecuted and had to travel to North America to find a better place to practice their religious beliefs. That is why they arrived at Cape Cod in 1620, and founded the colony of Plymouth, in New England. There they followed their strict religious system and the center of their lives was the local church.
