The early colonists from New England primarily included the Puritans, who migrated to escape religious persecution in England. They sought to establish a society based on their strict interpretation of Christianity, aiming to create a "city upon a hill" as a model of moral and religious living. Their journey was motivated by the desire for religious freedom and the opportunity to practice their beliefs without interference.
They were the Pilgrim Fathers. They had traveled from Plymouth, England in the Mayflower (name of the ship), to Cape Cod , Massachusetts in 1620. They were separatists from the Church of England.
