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.
The Puritans were a group of people who were really hardcore fighters against the Anglican church and the Catholic church. The Pilgrims, though similar to the Puritans in that they both separated from the Anglican church, were different from the Puritans because they were just separatists, and didn't fight hard against the Anglicans. All they wanted was refuge from the volatile political situation of the time. Protestant: a member of a group of Protestants in 16th- and 17th-century England and 17th-century America who believed in strict religious discipline and called for the simplification of acts of worship. The movement was an attempt to remove Roman Catholic influences from the Church of England. Pilgrimage: religious journey: a journey to a holy place, undertaken for religious reasons with one dogma and belief as the Muslim go Makkah, Saudi Arabia and gathered there at Eid-ul-Azha...

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.
