Justify the cruel behavior between Catholics and other Christians?
I can't. Over the centuries, Christians of all persuasions have persecuted those they could dominate. So, the Catholics persecuted the Arians, the Cathars and, where possible, the Protestants. In turn, Protestants persecuted Catholics in those countries where Catholics were in a minority. Protestants even persecuted other Protestants, such as when the Church of England persecuted the Puritans. The only credible explanation is that Christianity contains an element of intolerance that is usually kept hidden.

Not all European settlers were persecuted and there are many reasons why people go to places. Those who were persecuted were people like the Quakers who were arrested and jailed by the English government. Others came as indentured servants to pay for their passage. Even today there are indentured servants. So, the reasons vary.
