Pilgrims.
Well, the French originally wanted to trade, not colonize like the English in North America. While the English where settling colonists in new colonies, the French traded.
The pilgrims were known as separatists because they did not believe in the teachings of the English church so they SEPERATED from it. They did this by coming to the Americas and starting their own colonies.
the separatists cam in the winter before the puritans.
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.
the separatists came to America on the Mayflower.
The Separatists firstly settled in Plymouth :)

The separatists.
The separatist first settled in North America.....
The separatists left England because they heard of the new world in America and wanted to start a new life there.
the separatists and the puritans left England and went to North America because both groups wanted to practice their own religion freely.
