The Anglican Church, also known as the Church of England, was brought to the United States primarily by English colonists who settled in various regions of the country during the 17th and 18th centuries. The Anglican Church was the established church of England, and many English colonists in the Americas were Anglicans themselves. Notably, the Jamestown settlement in Virginia, founded in 1607, had a significant Anglican presence, and the church's influence extended to other colonies, such as Maryland and the Carolinas. However, other religious groups, including Quakers, Puritans, and Catholics, also established themselves in the American colonies, contributing to the religious diversity that would eventually shape the country's identity.


I hope this helped!
