The primary reason the Pilgrims came to the New World was to seek religious freedom. They were a group of English Separatists who wanted to escape the religious persecution they faced in England, where they were not allowed to practice their beliefs freely. The Pilgrims sought to establish a community where they could worship according to their own convictions, leading them to journey to America aboard the Mayflower in 1620.
