The Pilgrims sailed to America from Holland because they sought greater religious freedom and the ability to practice their Separatist beliefs without persecution. In England, they faced increasing pressure and hostility from the Church of England. After spending years in the more tolerant environment of the Netherlands, they decided to establish a new settlement in America to create a community aligned with their values and beliefs.

The Pilgrims (or Separatists) left Europe because they believed that the reforms of the Anglican church had not gone far enough. In order to be rightful interpreters of The Bible independent of an inherited social and cultural order, the Pilgrims knew they had to leave England and separate themselves from the Anglican church.

They hoped to find a "better and easier place of living", to propagate and advance the gospel of the kingdom of Christ in remote parts of the world, and to be left alone to live in their own pure and righteous way. They also knew that Holland's truce with Catholic Spain was near its end and the Pilgrims would have been wiped out if Spain took control of Holland.
