In the years before the American Revolution, the American colonies offered a greater degree of religious freedom than the mother country. The lack of religious freedom in Britain led several religious minorities to seek refuge in America. Here new circumstances contributed to a growing spirit of tolerance in spite of the continuation of an established church in several of the thirteen colonies. Although the Toleration Act of 1689 belatedly promised religious tolerance in England, the established church and its practices proved unacceptable to many dissenters. This act demonstrated that it was necessary to change society into a more religiously tolerant place, thus this was a step in the right direction.
