Question

What was the name of the puritan group that wanted to separate from the church of england?

Answer 1

Answer:

Pilgrims

Explanation:

The P​ilgrims​ were one Separatist group that left England in the early 1600s to escape persecution. The Pilgrims moved to the Netherlands in 1608. The Pilgrims were immigrants​—people who have left the country of their birth to live in another country. The Pilgrims were glad to be able to practice their religion freely. They were not happy, however, that their children were learning the Dutch language and culture. The Pilgrims feared that their children would forget their English traditions. The Pilgrims decided to leave Europe altogether. They formed a j​oint­stock​company with some merchants and then received permission from England to settle in V​irginia.​On September 16, 1620, a ship called the M​ayflower​left England with more than 100 men women, and children aboard. Not all of these colonists were Pilgrims. However, Pilgrim leaders such as William Bradford​sailed with the group.
