In America I remember from school they went to America on purpose
Not sure about being with the "Pligrims on the Mayflower" but Muslims were there before and after the Pilgrims went to America. http://islam.about.com/od/history/a/afammuslims.htm
Popular teaching, aka what you learned in grade school, states that the Pilgrims came for religious freedom. Wrong! Only around 40 of the 102 pilgrims were going for religion. The other 62 went in order to such for gold, adventure or for land. And if the majority went for those reasons, those are the reasons for the pilgrims going to America.
AnswerThe Pilgrims originally came from England. Then they moved to Holland. Then they went to America
Please get a glass of water ready for the approaching pilgrim.
They didn't - the Pilgrims came from the non-Roman Catholics and non-Anglicans from Britain who went of their own accord to escape religious discrimination.
The Pilgrims first settled in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1620.
The Pilgrims went to North America in 1620 because they wanted to have a place to live where they could practice their own religion without being persecuted by the government
Probaly, if you live in a America, that the pilgrims and everyone else knew that America was there so that they went there eventualy and here we are today.
They went to Massachusetts

They were headed for the East Coast of North America, but were aiming for farther south when they landed at Plymouth (think Virginia or North Carolina).
