Contrary to popular belief, the Puritans did not migrate because of religious persecution. They migrated to set up their own society where everyone adhered to their religious beliefs. They persecuted far more than they were persecuted against.

Why did the pilgrims leave Europe to settle in America?

The Puritans wanted to be free from religious prosecution in England. During the 1620s England's economy suffered. Many people lost their jobs. The English king, Charles I, made the situation worse by raising taxes. This unpopular act led to a political crisis. At the same time, the Church of England began to punish Puritans because they were dissenters, or people who disagree with official opinions. King Charles refused to allow Puritans to criticize church actions.

Why was America separated from England?

I don't know why you think that the US separated from England in 1877, but the Declaration of Independence was issued in 1776 (more than a hundred years before 1877) and the US fought the Revolutionary War and obtained its independence in the late 18th century, long before 1877. The US also fought a second war with England in 1812 (known as the War of 1812) which was, in effect, fought in defense of the independence that had already been obtained in the Revolutionary War. And that was the last time that England tried to treat the US as a colony. But aside from the issue of exactly when the revolution happened, we can still discuss the reasons why the US wished to be independent. Essentially, the US did not like the way that it was being ruled by England. It did not like paying taxes to a government which did not allow the US any say in how those taxes were spent (the slogan at the time of the revolution was "no taxation without representation") and the people of the US were not convinced that King George III of England actually had any divine right to rule them, as he claimed. The idea of democracy seemed more appealing.
