Pilgrims (or Pilgrim Fathers) were a group of English Protestants who fled England for Holland in the late 16th century in order to achieve greater religious freedom. In 1617 the Pilgrims began looking to leave Holland and settle in the New World. In 1620, the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock and established the second successful English settlement in the New World (Jamestown in Virginia being the first, having been established in 1607).
The Pilgrims left Plymouth, England, for America on the Mayflower on September 16, 1620.

The Pilgrims left Europe, specifically England, to seek religious freedom in the New World.
The Pilgrims (or Separatists) left Europe because they believed that the reforms of the Anglican church had not gone far enough. In order to be rightful interpreters of The Bible independent of an inherited social and cultural order, the Pilgrims knew they had to leave England and separate themselves from the Anglican church. They first moved to Holland. After 12 years of a hard life in Holland, the Pilgrims decided to move again. They hoped to find a "better and easier place of living", to propagate and advance the gospel of the kingdom of Christ in remote parts of the world, and to be left alone to live in their own pure and righteous way. They also knew that Holland's truce with Catholic Spain was near its end and the Pilgrims would have been wiped out if Spain took control of Holland.
