The greatest number of colonies was founded during the 1600s, particularly in the early to mid-1600s. This period saw significant European exploration and colonization, primarily by the British, French, Dutch, and Spanish, as they established settlements in the Americas, the Caribbean, and parts of Asia and Africa. The competition for resources and trade routes spurred rapid colonial expansion during this time.

According to the chart how many colonies were founded for the purpose of religious freedom?

Please provide more details or the data from the chart for a precise answer!
