The Puritans came to New England to escape religious persecution.
The main reason for the founding of the New England colonies was to seek religious freedom. Many settlers, particularly the Puritans and Pilgrims, faced persecution in England due to their desire to reform the Church of England or practice their faith independently. They sought to establish communities where they could worship freely and create a society based on their religious beliefs. Additionally, economic opportunities and the promise of land also motivated some settlers to migrate to the region.
