Who were the pelgrim?
The Pilgrims were from a group of Protestants called separatists. The separatists realized that the teachings of the Church of England was contrary to God's Word, the Bible. The separatists began holding services of their own in their houses or barns. However, the English king didn't like the fact that they were leaving his church, and tried to convince the separatists to stay in it. When they would not, he had many of them arrested. The separatists began meeting secretly, but they continued to be found and given several weeks or months in prison. Several hundred of them left England in 1608 and went to Holland. The separatists were contented their for several years. But, after a while they began to realize that they were being spread out, as some went back to England, and many moved to different areas to find homes and jobs. They thought a move would be necessary to retain their identity. Also, many Dutch did not observe Sunday as the Lord's day(the separatists belived that no work should be done on Sunday). The separatists did not like this as many of their youth started to follow suite. So, it was decided that a new community should be found, and the new world seemed ideal with free land and few other occupants. Some of the separatists set out in two ships in 1620 along with a mixed group of other individuals who were looking to start a new life (the separatists nicknamed these "strangers"). The whole company came to be know as Pilgrims. One ship turned back soon after leaving Holland due to leakage, but the second, the Mayflower, continued on to North America, and landed on Plymouth Rock on December 21, 1620.
