The Pilgrims emigrated from England to Holland in search of religious freedom. They were being persecuted by the crown of England because they belonged to a group called the Separatists, who wanted to separate from the Church of England, which was illegal at the time.
They were angered by British laws, religion, and wanted land.

The pilgrims came after the puritans. Both the puritans and pilgrims played a large part in New England's history and culture.
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. However, while Pilgrims were Separatists who wanted to break away from the Church of England, Puritans wanted to purify the Church from within.
The Pilgrims and Puritans settled in New England because they wanted to build communities based on their own religions.
The Pilgrims after leaving England.
Both pilgrims and puritans were groups of English Protestants seeking religious freedom in the 17th century. However, pilgrims were separatists who broke away from the Church of England, while puritans wanted to reform the church from within. Pilgrims initially settled in Plymouth, Massachusetts, while puritans established the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
