The majority of the passengers on the Mayflower were English religious Puritans who had been living in The Netherlands in order to enjoy the religious freedom that was a available to them there but not in England. However, they did not like the cultural assimilation that was impacting their community, so they obtained from the King of England a grant of lands to settle in America. They hired the Mayflower to take them there. The voyage occurred because that was how they traveled to America.
