The Pilgrims left Europe seeking religious freedom, as they faced persecution for their separatist beliefs within the Church of England. Initially, they settled in the Netherlands but found the environment unsatisfactory for raising their children in their faith. In search of a new life, they obtained a patent to establish a colony in Virginia, aiming for a place where they could practice their religion freely and build a community based on their values. However, they ended up landing at Plymouth, Massachusetts, instead of Virginia, due to navigational errors.
The Pilgrims left Plymouth, England, for America on the Mayflower on September 16, 1620.
Pilgrims (or Pilgrim Fathers) were a group of English Protestants who fled England for Holland in the late 16th century in order to achieve greater religious freedom. In 1617 the Pilgrims began looking to leave Holland and settle in the New World. In 1620, the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock and established the second successful English settlement in the New World (Jamestown in Virginia being the first, having been established in 1607).
The Pilgrims were required to obtain permission from the English government to leave Europe, which involved securing a charter or license for their voyage. They faced challenges in obtaining this permission due to their dissenting religious views, which were not aligned with the Church of England. Additionally, they needed to arrange for funding and a ship to undertake the perilous journey to the New World. Ultimately, they set sail on the Mayflower in 1620, seeking religious freedom and a new life.
