the puritans
If the American colonies were to stay in England, America would not be the same. The 13 colonies were the first to allow religious freedom and have religious tolerance as proven in some as history's greatest document such as Mayflower Compact and Maryland's Tolerance. Also if the American colonies were to stay in England there wouldn't be the democratic system of government we have today because the colonies sprouted a system of government called The House of Burgess es which was the start of a representative government which lead to our country today.
The Pilgrims were people who came over from Europe (on "The Mayflower" ship) in the early 1600s to escape religious prosecution.
Started in the New England colonies and spread to the rest of the colonies.

The puritans, i think
They came looking for religious and political freedom. Why did they settle in New England? Look at a map. New England is pretty much straight across from England. I suppose it was just easier to settle down there. It would have been very difficult for the colonists to travel further west as they were not equipped to do so when they first arrived.
While they were mostly Church of England it was not founded by a religious group or for religious motivations.
Most of the first settlers in the first colonies are from England because the wanted to seperate from the king. They mostly wanted religious freedom and they wanted to start a new life.
New England colonies did not have slavery. Since they were first settled by Puritan's they laid the foundation for the religious, intellectual, and social order of the New England colonies. This included the use of slaves. Slavery was abolished in the New England colonies in 1774.
