Some puritans felt they should remain in the Church of England. Other did not think that was possible, so they formed independent congregations with their own ministers. Some of them even left England and came to America.
Pilgrims and Puritans were both religious groups that originated from England during the 16th and 17th centuries. Both groups sought religious freedom and believed in strict adherence to Christian principles.
