The Pilgrims who traveled on the Mayflower were not technically Puritans; they were a specific group of Separatists seeking religious freedom. While Puritans sought to reform the Church of England from within, the Pilgrims wanted to separate entirely from it. They established the Plymouth Colony in 1620, where they could practice their faith without persecution. This distinction is important in understanding the broader context of religious dissent in early colonial America.
