Puritans Vs Pilgrims?

The Puritans were a group of people who were really hardcore fighters against the Anglican church and the Catholic church. The Pilgrims, though similar to the Puritans in that they both separated from the Anglican church, were different from the Puritans because they were just separatists, and didn't fight hard against the Anglicans. All they wanted was refuge from the volatile political situation of the time. Protestant: a member of a group of Protestants in 16th- and 17th-century England and 17th-century America who believed in strict religious discipline and called for the simplification of acts of worship. The movement was an attempt to remove Roman Catholic influences from the Church of England. Pilgrimage: religious journey: a journey to a holy place, undertaken for religious reasons with one dogma and belief as the Muslim go Makkah, Saudi Arabia and gathered there at Eid-ul-Azha... So the big Difference is Protest and unity ...

Why are Pilgrims known as Pilgrims?

You're a bit off; not all of the English settlers were Pilgrims. In the 17th century, some religious groups, such as the Pilgrims and the Puritans, felt a strong animosity toward the Church of England. After the English Reformation, the Pilgrims and Puritans felt that the Church of England did not uphold the structure and decorum of the fundamental Christian Church. The Pilgrims were a religious group much like the Puritans. The only difference between the groups was that while the Puritans maintained their membership in and allegiance to the Church of England, the Pilgrims felt that their differences with the Church of England were irreconcilable. But in most basic terms, a pilgrim is one who undertakes a religious journey. The Pilgrims of the 17th century searched for and found a new religious beginning in America.
