The Pilgrims and Puritans came to North America primarily seeking religious freedom. The Pilgrims, a group of Separatists, sought to escape persecution from the Church of England, while the Puritans aimed to reform and purify the church from within. Both groups sought to establish communities where they could practice their faith without interference and create a society based on their religious principles. Additionally, they were motivated by the promise of new opportunities and land in the New World.
