Virginia is often referred to in relation to the Pilgrims due to its historical significance in early American colonization. The Pilgrims, who sought religious freedom, initially intended to settle in Virginia but ultimately landed in Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1620. Their journey and establishment of a colony marked a pivotal moment in American history, and Virginia was part of the broader context of English colonization efforts in North America. Additionally, Virginia was one of the first areas settled by the English, making it a crucial backdrop to the Pilgrims' story.

The Mayflower Compact was the governing document the Pilgrims used to establish the Plymouth Colony which was in Massachusetts. Jamestown was in Virginia and was not settled by the "Pilgrims." It was settled by a group of entrpreneurs known as the Virginia Company to make money, not a group in search of religious freedom like the Pilgrims/Puritans.
