Why did the separatists leave England and go to Holland and then the new world?
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.
