Why did the pilgrims leave England

1 answer

The Pilgrims left England due to religious persecution. They were a group of English Separatists who wanted to separate from the Church of England and establish their own independent congregation. However, they faced persecution and were not allowed to practice their faith freely in England. Seeking religious freedom, they decided to leave England and settle in the New World (America).
