Several groups sought religious freedom in the New World, most notably the Pilgrims, who established Plymouth Colony in 1620 to escape persecution from the Church of England. The Puritans followed, founding the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630 with similar motives. Additionally, the Quakers, led by William Penn, settled in Pennsylvania in the late 17th century to create a haven for religious tolerance. Other groups, such as the Huguenots and Catholics, also migrated for the promise of religious liberty.
