The pilgrims mainly settled in New England because they wanted religious freedom. The majority of the first pilgrims were either Puritans (wanted to purify Anglican church) or Separatists (wanted to separate from Anglican church). It is also important to realize that they wanted religious freedom for themselves, not other religious congregations.
The pilgrims came after the puritans. Both the puritans and pilgrims played a large part in New England's history and culture.
Puritans sought to reform the Church of England from within, while Pilgrims wanted to separate from it entirely. Puritans arrived in America later than the Pilgrims and settled in Massachusetts Bay Colony. Puritans were more focused on creating a religiously strict society, while Pilgrims were more concerned with religious freedom.

The pilgrims sought to separate from the Church of England, while the puritans aimed to purify and reform the church. Both groups played a significant role in shaping the religious landscape of colonial America.
The Puritans were from England. They believed that the Church of England was too much like the Catholic Church. They settled in what became Massachusetts and revived what they believed was the proper form of Anglican Protestantism.
