Answer: religious persecution

Step-by-step explanation:

Religious Persecution was the main factor that that brought many European Jews to the United States beginning in the late 1800s.

European Jews were systematically mistreated because of their religious beliefs so several of them decided to come to America in order to avoid the persecution they were facing.

Many of the British North American colonies were settled in the 17th century by the religious persecuted people.
