Why did the separatists who came to America call themselves pilgrims?

The pilgrims were known as separatists because they did not believe in the teachings of the English church so they SEPERATED from it. They did this by coming to the Americas and starting their own colonies.

The journey was very rough. It took 9 weeks for the pilgrims to get to the New World. They were supposed to land near the Hudson, but due to storms, they veered off coast to Plymouth.

Pilgrims would typically sleep on the floor on their journey on the boat. Some would sleep in make-shift beds that they created.


How many ships were involved in the pilgrams travel?

There were two ships involved in the Pilgrims' travel to America: the Mayflower and the Speedwell. However, the Speedwell was deemed unseaworthy and had to turn back before reaching America, leaving only the Mayflower to complete the journey.


Why were pilgrams also known as separatists?

The Pilgrims broke away from the Church of England that King Henry instituted. They were persecuted for their beliefs and that they did not attend the Church of England. By the time the Pilgrims broke away from the church, King James was ruling. Some of these "Separatists" went to Holland. They lived there until they felt the Dutch were a bad influence. And again, some of those separatists left for America. These Separatists then made their "pilgrimage" (journey) to America. Today these Puritans/Religious Dessenters/Separatists are called the Pilgrims.
