Why did the Pilgrim Fathers come to the US?

Answer 1

First, of course, it wasn't the United States when they came here, not then and not for more than 150 years afterward.

They came for religious freedom--for the right to worship God in the way that they chose, according to their beliefs. Their manner of worship was treated with intolerance where they came from.

And--they were just as intolerant toward others.

Answer 2

Pilgrims came to America because in England, the king made a law that if you live in England you had to believe his beliefs. The pilgrims didn't like the law, so they left England in search of religious freedom and other things. People today still immigrate to America and there were other reasons they left England. Some pilgrims came to America for a better life. For example, if you don't have any money or have lost everything, would you want to come to America to start your life over? Pilgrims were also mistreated in England. These are some of the reasons pilgrims came to America. They were looking for freedom of beliefs mostly though.
