The non-Separatist Puritans who sought refuge in the New World were known as the Pilgrims. They were dismissed by King James I and faced religious persecution in England. The Pilgrims eventually settled in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1620.
Yes, the Puritans were a group of English Protestants who sought to reform the Church of England and faced persecution in Europe. They settled in the New World, particularly in New England, in search of religious freedom and the ability to practice their beliefs without interference. The Elizabethan Settlement established the Church of England as a Protestant church, but it did not fully satisfy the Puritans, leading some to seek religious refuge in America.
The three colonies settled for religious reasons are Massachusetts (Pilgrims and Puritans seeking religious freedom), Pennsylvania (Quakers seeking religious tolerance), and Maryland (Catholics seeking refuge from persecution).
Samuel Johnson is commonly attributed to have said, "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel." This quote is often misquoted as "Religion is the last refuge of a scoundrel."
Puritans and Pilgrims were both groups of English Protestants who sought religious freedom, but they held different views on the Church of England. Puritans wanted to purify the church from within, while Pilgrims sought to separate from the church entirely. The Pilgrims eventually settled in Plymouth, Massachusetts, while Puritans established the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
One key difference is that Pennsylvania had a more tolerant and diverse religious landscape, with William Penn promoting religious freedom and welcoming various groups such as Quakers, Baptists, and Presbyterians. In contrast, Massachusetts Bay Colony was founded by Puritans seeking religious refuge and established a more exclusive society with strict adherence to Puritan beliefs and practices.
Separatists
The pilgrims did not settle here. I think they either settled in North Carolina or Massachusetts. Glad I could help:)
Intended as a refuge for Catholics, it was a volatile mix that inluded Puritans, Quakers and Church of England.
As one of the first American colonies, the Massachusetts Bay Colony was officially chartered for the sake of trade between the New World and the Old. At the same time, though secretly, it was organized as a refuge for religious separatists, known as Puritans, who protested many of the practices of the official English church and were in turn often persecuted by the same.

The role of religion in the Massachusetts colony had a dual purpose. While religion kept a system of strong beliefs in place, it also served as the foundation for their legal system and law making.
She sought refuge in the chapel. He could find no refuge from his problems in her arms.
Emiquon National Wildlife Refuge was created in 2000.
They got along well with the people from Plymouth Colony, but that's about it. Baptists and Quakers, in particular, were not welcome and were driven out by force, if necessary. Rhode Island became a refuge for all the people the Puritans didn't like.
Maryland was founded as a refuge for Catholics.
