Answer:
The correct answer is A. In New England, religion was a unifying feature in the colonial era.
Explanation:
The first European settlers in New England were English puritans in search of religious freedom. They gave the regional political organization its distinctive feature, creating town meetings, which included most of the inhabitants of each city, often annual, to discuss local problems and vote decisions. The meetings were held by the "elders" in the parishes. These meetings are still held today in many New England towns, and have been established as a basis for dialogue on the regional political scene.
