Best Answer

Popular teaching, aka what you learned in grade school, states that the Pilgrims came for religious freedom. Wrong! Only around 40 of the 102 pilgrims were going for religion. The other 62 went in order to such for gold, adventure or for land. And if the majority went for those reasons, those are the reasons for the pilgrims going to America.
