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.
I think there's an inconsistancy in your question. If you mean "Plymouth," not Jamestown, then yes. If it was supposed to just be "settlers," then no. Jamestown was founded for profit.

Jamestown, established in 1607, did not offer true religious freedom. The colony was primarily established for economic purposes, and the Church of England was the dominant religious institution. While there were some instances of religious tolerance, especially towards dissenters from the Church, the overall environment was not one of open religious freedom as seen in later colonies like Pennsylvania. Religious practices were largely governed by the laws and norms of the Anglican Church.
They both came for religious freedom that they did not have in Great Britan
No... John Smith was not a pilgrim... He was the Captain of a ship...called... well don't remember but no he was definitely not a pilgrim....... more like an explorer of the new world. Pilgrims came later from England mainly for religious freedom! i hope that helps somewhat. By the way watch Pocahontas(?) you know the Disney movie..... you will
