Which was the reason of the trip to America?

The Pilgrims were separatists who separated away from the church. Emigrated to Amsterdam in 1608 to avoid religious persecution. The next year they traveled to Leiden, where they enjoyed religious freedom. In 1617, the Separatists decided to emigrate to America. Travelers regrouped in Plymouth, the Speedwell, carried them to Southampton, England, where they joined another group of Separatists and take a second boat, the Mayflower. And the fate of this boat was America.
