Religious discontents and economic pressures led to considerable emigration from Great Britain. Twenty thousand Puritans settled in New England between 1630 and 1640. About the same number went to Barbados and other West Indian islands. A third group of mostly Scotch Presbyterians settled in Northern Ireland.Maryland became the main destination for English Catholics.
