The Separatists left Europe for the Americas because they were extremely critical of the Church of England and the Catholic church. They first moved to a settlement in Holland, but felt after a time that control over their children was being lost so they decided to leave for a place further away and separated from everyone else. This led to the settlement of the Plymouth Colony.
Roman Catholics from all parts of the world were being persecuted by non-catholics (Protestants) from the 15th century onwards. The Catholics fled England during and after the reigns of Henry VIII and his equally intolerant daughter, Elizabeth I. I believe the best known example of this is the Catholics who fled on the Mayflower and settled in the northern continent of the Americas, settling in such places which still carry the names they gave them ie. Maryland and New England. Maryland was actually named for the honour of the Virgin Mary. The flowers which we know as marigolds were also named after her, oringinally being called "Mary's gold".
The Pilgrims were Separatists. They wanted to separate from the Church of England. They went to the Netherlands first but were upset when their children started speaking Dutch. They came to America to be far away from what they felt were the evils of the Church of England and wanted to have a place where they could govern themselves.
