Essay - Was King James I of England a fair ruler? Why or why not? Would you have wanted to leave England for the New World? (need 2 facts to support your answer) (5-7 sentences)
I do not think King James was a fair ruler because he was a strict religious leader. He did not allow anyone to go against his wishes. The people wanted religious and political freedoms so they wanted to leave England and go to the New World. I would have left England, even though it would have been a terrifying adventure. If I went to the New World, at least I could live in a place where I could have my own beliefs and ideas, even if it is scary.
