North America was not populated by 'Missionaries' - the job of a missionary is to convert people who do not believe into believers. The early colonists of North America were not so much missionaries as religious refugees, fleeing to America so that they could set up communities free to worship as they wished/believed. This migration happened because of the religious oppression that was occurring in many part of Europe at the time.
America had no religion because from the beginning religious freedom was instated.
It sounds like they would be called missionaries-those are people that spread their religious beliefs, and they can travel from anywhere to anywhere. They can even just spread their message where they live.

Missionaries came to America to spread their religious beliefs to the Native American population. Puritans came seeking religious freedom and to establish communities based on their beliefs. Indentured servants came seeking economic opportunities and a chance to start anew in the New World.
To convert the natives to Christianity.
Missionaries played a significant role in the colonization of Latin America, spreading Christianity and converting indigenous populations. This led to the blending of indigenous beliefs with Christianity, creating a syncretic form of religion. Missionaries also established education and healthcare systems that had lasting impacts on the region.
To escape religious prosicution or for freedom of religion.
Native Americans are not religious - they are spiritual.
In America, the quacker religion mainly is in Pennslyvania.
Most likely, the major religions are Christianity and any one of several pre-Colombian beliefs. During the colonization of the Spanish in the 1500s, many Christian missionaries spread their religion throughout Central and South America.
I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but the pilgrims faced religious discrimination in Europe and so they sailed to America for religious freedom.
