The Pilgrims who settled in Plymouth, not Jamestown, were primarily motivated by the desire for religious freedom, escaping persecution in England. They sought to establish a community where they could practice their faith without interference. In contrast, Jamestown, established in 1607, was mainly driven by economic interests and the goals of the Virginia Company rather than a focus on religious liberty.
