Pilgrims (or Pilgrim Fathers) were a group of English Protestants who fled England for Holland in the late 16th century in order to achieve greater religious freedom. In 1617 the Pilgrims began looking to leave Holland and settle in the New World. In 1620, the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock and established the second successful English settlement in the New World (Jamestown in Virginia being the first, having been established in 1607).
