The Puritans sought religious freedom and wanted to establish a society based on their beliefs. The Separatists, also known as Pilgrims, wanted to escape religious persecution in England. Both groups saw North America as a place where they could build a society in accordance with their religious ideals.
Because the Pilgrims wanted to go to Virginia (I think), but they landed at Plymouth Rock, in Massachusetts
Pilgrims like religious places.
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.

The pilgrims had left England for Holland to flee religious persecution. They left Holland after disliking the "dutchification" of their children. The pilgrims were separatists who wanted to remain English but wished to be free to practice their religion. They secured a charter to go to Jamestown, their original destination, but were blown off course. After scouting the surrounding area the pilgrims finally settled at Plymouth Plantation.
They wanted to find religious freedom. People in England had to follow the Church of England, which was led by the king, King Henry VIII. That meant people had to follow his rules and laws. Some people, called separatists, wanted to break away from the church and create their own church. So the separatists went to America to practice their religious beliefs. They were also known as the Puritans. They did not grant religious freedom to others who did not share their religious beliefs.
