The Puritans were seeking religious freedom.
Many groups throughout history have sought to avoid religious persecution, notably the Pilgrims and Puritans who fled England in the early 17th century to escape religious oppression. They sought refuge in America, where they could practice their faith freely. Additionally, various other religious minorities, such as Quakers and Huguenots, also migrated to escape persecution in Europe.
John Locke was forced to flee to Holland in 1682 due to his opposition to the policies of King James II of England, particularly the king's attempts to promote Catholicism and centralize power. Locke's political writings, which advocated for individual rights and government by consent, put him at odds with the increasingly authoritarian regime. Fearing persecution for his views and potential arrest, he sought refuge in the more tolerant environment of the Dutch Republic, where he continued his philosophical work.
In 1970, there were riots at many campuses in the USA after President Nixon called for the invasion of Cambodia (to pursue communist North Vietnamese who sought refuge there) during the Vietnam War. Since the police could not handle the rioters, the national guard was called out.

In the 1600s, tensions between the Church of England and the Puritans, who sought to reform the church and eliminate practices they deemed unbiblical, led many Puritans to flee to North America. They established the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630, seeking religious freedom and the opportunity to create a society based on their beliefs. This migration was part of a larger movement known as the Great Migration, where thousands sought refuge from persecution.

The Puritans.
Yes, the Puritans were a group of English Protestants who sought to reform the Church of England and faced persecution in Europe. They settled in the New World, particularly in New England, in search of religious freedom and the ability to practice their beliefs without interference.
