The pilgrims mainly settled in New England because they wanted religious freedom. The majority of the first pilgrims were either Puritans (wanted to purify Anglican church) or Separatists (wanted to separate from Anglican church). It is also important to realize that they wanted religious freedom for themselves, not other religious congregations.
