Separatists were a group of English Protestants in the 16th and 17th centuries who sought to break away from the Church of England, which they viewed as corrupt and insufficiently reformed. They aimed to establish independent congregations free from the authority of the established church. Their desire for religious freedom and pure worship led some, notably the Pilgrims, to emigrate to North America, where they sought to create a society based on their religious beliefs.
