King James I persecuted Puritan Separatists primarily because he viewed their desire to separate from the Church of England as a threat to the unity and authority of his reign. He believed that religious uniformity was essential for political stability and saw the Separatists' dissenting beliefs as a challenge to both his power and the established church. Additionally, the king was concerned that such movements could inspire broader dissent and undermine his absolute rule. This led to increased persecution, including arrests and forced conformity to Anglican practices.

Why were pilgrams also known as separatists?

The Pilgrims broke away from the Church of England that King Henry instituted. They were persecuted for their beliefs and that they did not attend the Church of England. By the time the Pilgrims broke away from the church, King James was ruling. Some of these "Separatists" went to Holland. They lived there until they felt the Dutch were a bad influence. And again, some of those separatists left for America. These Separatists then made their "pilgrimage" (journey) to America. Today these Puritans/Religious Dessenters/Separatists are called the Pilgrims.
