They wanted to find religious freedom. People in England had to follow the Church of England, which was led by the king, King Henry VIII. That meant people had to follow his rules and laws. Some people, called separatists, wanted to break away from the church and create their own church. So the separatists went to America to practice their religious beliefs. They were also known as the Puritans. They did not grant religious freedom to others who did not share their religious beliefs.

Pilgrims were Puritans, albeit a specific kind. In the 17th century, many people felt that the Church of England should get rid of all traces of the Roman Catholic Church, which it had broken away from, that the Church should be "purified". These people were called Puritans. There was a group of Puritans who were even more extreme, they said that the Church of England was too corrupt to ever be purified, and that Puritans should completely separate from it. These people were called separatists. A group of separatists finally left the Church and England altogether, and moved to Holland.

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.

Why did the pilgrims leaves Europe?
The Pilgrims (or Separatists) left Europe because they believed that the reforms of the Anglican church had not gone far enough. In order to be rightful interpreters of The Bible independent of an inherited social and cultural order, the Pilgrims knew they had to leave England and separate themselves from the Anglican church. They first moved to Holland. After 12 years of a hard life in Holland, the Pilgrims decided to move again. They hoped to find a "better and easier place of living", to propagate and advance the gospel of the kingdom of Christ in remote parts of the world, and to be left alone to live in their own pure and righteous way. They also knew that Holland's truce with Catholic Spain was near its end and the Pilgrims would have been wiped out if Spain took control of Holland.
