Pilgrims and Puritans
The Pilgrims were part of a group of English Puritans called the
“Separatists” who fled persecution in England. The Pilgrims traveled to America aboard the Mayflower and landed at Plymouth in 1620.
Puritans is a general term for English Protestants who wanted to “purify” the Church of England. The Puritans objected to the rituals, decorations, and organization of the Church of England. They wanted a simpler form of worship and organization.Slide5Slide6Slide7
