Prior to the Revolution, colonists did to a large extent develop a sense of unity and identity as Americans. Many colonists united together because of the notion to start over, they left Britain to find freedom. They were looking to seek a better life. Catholics, Protestants, Presbyterians, and Calvinists all came to America to escape religious persecution. Others such as the Irish went to America to look for wealth or for a better state of living. These different identities all came together soon after, unified by a common concern. Pennsylvania, which was mostly Quakers, had the most tolerance for other ethnic and religious groups. Native Americans and other religious groups went there because they had more freedom. The middle colonies did not have a single religion more powerful than any other. People who came from one country usually shared the same religious beliefs, most belonged to one of the several Protestant groups that faced persecution in Europe.
