A relatively small group of Christians, called Puritans, had differing religious opinions and conflicts with the State religion of Great Britain. They traveled to the Netherlands to escape persecution in England. This failed to work out so upon returning to England they applied for permission to settle a colony in the New World. They were approved to do so. They settled in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in New England. In the early 1600's Their ship was the famous Mayflower.
