The Pilgrims sought religious freedom to escape persecution for their beliefs in England, where the Church of England dominated and dissenters faced harsh penalties. They wanted to practice their faith openly and establish a community based on their own religious principles. This desire for autonomy led them to embark on the Mayflower voyage to the New World in 1620, seeking a place where they could worship freely and live according to their values.
