Pilgrim is the term used to describe the English immigrants to the NW pre-colonial settlements. They were not the first immigrants and yes, many were Puritans. Some were Evangelists and others wanted an adventure. In fact, most of the early "pilgrims" did not remain in America for long and after the English "Glorious Revolution" they returned home. The word Dissenters comes from about 2,400 Puritan clergy in England who left the Church of England (Anglican) after the Act of Uniformity of 1663. Barely 100 years before there was only one Christian Church: The Holy Roman Apostolic Catholic Church. When King Henry VIII wanted an annulment from his marriage to Catherine of Aragon, the Church of England separated from Rome (1534) and through the Parliament's act, in the Act of Supremacy, began the events making the king, head of The Church of England. After the Prince of Wales death at 17, Mary brought back the pope and when she died, Elizabeth I, England's greatest reign, was the one who established an English Church and became Supreme Governor to what evolved into today's Church of England. The Puritans accepted the Act of Uniformity (Church-wise) exept for the dissenting clergy who wanted to rule as a separate religion. The best way to understand this is to read about the supremacy of the Pope at a time when Church and State were supreme. Not separated.

All they wanted was refuge from the volatile political situation of the time.

Who kicked the puritans out of England?
The Puritans were of the belief that the Church of England was not a satisfactory reformation of the Catholic Church; they thought the changes did not go far enough. The Puritans were Congregationalists who were against a strong hierarchy as well as many of the sacraments and ceremonies of the Catholic and Anglican churches. They were theologically Calvinist and believed instead in predestination. While the Puritans began to realize they could not change religion in England, they instead sought other options and wanted to have their own community in the New World. Not only did the Puritans want to leave, but the English Crown wanted them to leave as well. They were true Antinomians and the Crown believed that they would be nothing but trouble when it came to public loyalty to the Crown and the Crown's state religion. The Puritans wanted to leave just as much as the Crown wanted them to leave. Thus began the 30,000 person Puritan migration to the New World that began in 1630. (Note: the Puritans were not the "Pilgrims" that came to Plymouth in 1620)

Why did the Pilgrims want to settle in America?
WRONG ANSWER BELOW the Pilgrims and the Purtians came to America to escape the state religion of England. Religions that didn't follow the Church of England were discriminated against and the people who practiced the religion were arrested. They wanted to be able to practice their religion without harassment from the government. This is one reason the founding fathers were careful when they wrote the constitution to keep a separation of church and state. They didn't want a government state religion.
