Best Answer

Pilgrims are people who journey to a sacred place for religious reasons. Usually "the Pilgrims" refers to Puritans who left England and came to American to get away from the Anglicans and practice their nonconformist religion (as it was seen by the Anglicans). Both the Anglicans and the Pilgrims were protestants, they just disagreed with each other. The Jesuits, on the other hand, were a religious Order in the Catholic Church. They were definitely not the same thing.
