Answer 2

The correct answer is B. Northern Europeans brought Protestantism to the Americas, while southern Europeans brought Catholicism.

Step-by-step explanation:

The process of colonization in the Americas involved a cultural exchange of practices, beliefs, ideas, and even religion. In terms of religion, European colonizers imposed their religion in the colonized territories and taught this to natives. Additionally, because there were different religions in Europe the religions European colonizers promoted were different.

As shown in the map in the north of Europe, especially in the United Kingdom the main religions were Anglicanism and Calvinism which are branches of Protestantism, and due to this, Protestantism was the main religion in the British colonies (the U.S.). On the other hand, in the south of Europe including Spain and Portugal the main religion was Catholicism and this was the main religion the territories colonies by Spanish and Portuguese in Central America and South America.
