The Puritans didn't go to Plymouth, they went to what is now Massachusetts Bay colony. They founded Plymouth, MA in 1620. Named after Plymouth, Devon, England, from whence the Mayflower set sail, it is the oldest continuously populated English settlement in the modern US.
For whom did the Massachusetts Bay Colony provide a safe religious haven?

Unfortunately, the Puritans turned out to be quite intolerant of not just other religions but other interpretations of Puritanism, causing people like Roger Williams to leave and establish other colonies (in Williams's case, Rhode Island).
What factors helped the Puritans succeed in establishing the Massachusetts Bay Colony?
The New England way of life contributed to the success of Massachusetts bay colony because of the "Protestant work ethic."

These morals helped set up an extremely hard working society in New England, and paved the way for a successful colony.

What religious period and political values held Massachusetts together in colonial times?
The original founders of the Massachusetts Bay Colony were members of the Puritan religion, a denomination of Protestant Christianity. The Puritans, who came to the new world from England, wanted to set an example for a godly Christian colony (there was no separation of church and state yet); John Winthrop famously referred to the large port city of Boston as a "city on a hill," meant to be that shining example of Christian piety and ethics.
When did the Mayflower sail to America?
In 1620, the Mayflower set sail to America, hosting Puritans who aimed to establish a new, separate colony from the others. This colony was later named the Plymouth Colony because they landed on a land-form which was named Plymouth Rock (the rock can now be seen in Plymouth, Massachusetts).
