Who is the french leader that came to America for religious freedom?

The French leader who came to America seeking religious freedom was John Law. He was a Scottish economist and financier who established the Mississippi Company and sought to create a French colony in Louisiana, promoting it as a refuge for French Protestants. Although not a traditional political leader in the sense of a head of state, his efforts were significant in the context of French colonial ambitions and the search for religious tolerance during that period.

It seems there might be a repetition in your question. The Edict of Nantes, issued in 1598 by Henry IV of France, granted the Huguenots, who were French Protestants, the freedom of worship and the right to hold public office. This edict aimed to promote civil unity and ended the religious wars between Catholics and Protestants in France. However, it was revoked in 1685 by Louis XIV, leading to renewed persecution of the Huguenots.
