The Scrooby congregation, a group of English Separatists seeking religious freedom, decided to go to Leyden, Netherlands, in the early 17th century to escape persecution in England. They were attracted to Leyden for its relatively tolerant environment, which allowed them to practice their faith without fear of reprisal. Additionally, they sought a place where they could live according to their beliefs and raise their children in a community that shared their values. This move ultimately played a crucial role in their later journey to America aboard the Mayflower.
