None of the above.

They moved farther apart because they couldn’t stand their in-laws.

b. While it’s true that the colonials despised the british taxes, they did not escape them by migrating to what was then the western frontier of Kentucky. Also, they were hardly nomadic. In fact the bulk of the economy was based on the planter/farmer. While there were some evangelical movements during that time, such as Methodists and Baptists, the official church was the Anglican Church, (also called The Church of England) and they were not necessarily evangelical since most British citizens were by default members of the church. Even in the Colonies the Anglican pastors were paid in tobacco by the government. So, b it is. Have a libacious and jolly holiday!

Much of the land of New England was rocky and poorly suited for agriculture.
