Why did Pilgrims immigrate to America?
ANSWERThe pilgrims sailed to the new world to find religious freedom.ANSWERThey had to go away from Europe because persecuted by the Church. Cause of their different religion they were considered dangerous and heretics by the Catholic church. Regaurding the cause of why they were considered so... it can be said they were considered heretics because their belief had some points that couldn't be accepted by the Church: this from a purely religious point of view. the other reason is that the Church at those times was afraid that some religious groups if left "uncontrolled" could get too much power: this is from a more realistic political point of view. That's why the piligrims decided to sail to the new world.
What was the major reason why the Plymouth colony Maryland and Pennsylvania founded?
I think that the most important reason the Pilgrims came to the New World (America) was that they were seeking religious freedom. Some people were given the option to go to the New World because it was too expensive to keep them in jail. Others went to make a fresh start and some were even political refugees. I think these are some of the most important reasons because going to the New Wold and starting a whole new life in an unknown place is a huge decision that you shouldn't take lightly.

The Virgina colony was not concerned with religious freedom. The 105 men who arrived on the James River to form Jamestown were there to make money or get rich from finding gold. They didn't prepare themselves for the colony to be successful and within the first 7 months only 34 were alive. One of the fables of our history is that all settlers came to find religious freedom and this is not true. Jamestown is a prime example of that as false.
