Why did the Pilgrims leave England?
The Pilgrims left England for religious reasons. They wanted to believe their own religion. They did not like the church of England. To run away from persecution for carrying out their religious beliefs when the King had made a law that if you lived in England, you had to believe HIS beliefs. No, that is not true that the Pilgrims left England for religious freedom. They were free to worship as they preferred, but objected to the way OTHERS WORSHIPPED!In fact, the Pilgrims/Puritans left England because they couldn't stand the open, religious freedom allowed. Puritans were followers of the teachings of Calvin and believed, like the Separatists, that man was born in sin. To become saved, they would have to prove they were worthy while on earth. Instead of separating from the Church of England, they wanted to "purify" the Church of the influence of the Catholic Church within the Anglican Church; thus, the name, "Puritans." Puritans wanted to remove themselves from non-Puritans and left Great Britain because they were not pleased with the way non-Puritans were worshiping without much interference.ACTUALLY.....the pilgrims left England in 1609 so that they could practice the religion they chose. An English law, the 1559 Act of Uniformity, demanded that all British citizens attend services and follow the traditions of the Church of England. A group of dissenters known as the Puritains had strong disagreements with some Church practices. Under King James, the practice of executing Puritans for disobeying the Act of Uniformity ended, but the Puritans still found themselves hated by society.Well, most of them left for Religion, but I don't know the rest
