The Reformation started when Christians like Martin Luther began to question the oppressive doctrines of the Catholic Church and started an independent "evangelical" church. The main difference between the Evangelicals and the Catholics was that Evangelicals believed in the doctrine of GRACE, in which Christ died for the sins of man in order to give an unmerited gift of salvation to mankind which cannot be earned. The Catholics believed that "works" or actions justified individuals in the sight of God, and not grace. The Catholic church began to persecute "Evangelical" Christians all over Europe, and thousands were killed or displaced from their homes. Many fled the turmoil to seek religious freedom in the "New World" America. The first pilgrims landed in what would become Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1620AD to form a colony under the direction of God. They all signed what was called the Mayflower Compact, a document stating that the intent of the pilgrims was to make a new civilization under God's provision. Many of the ideas in the Mayflower Compact were influential in the writing of the U.S. Constitution.
