Answer:B-They wanted to practice their faith freely

Explanation:The Pilgrims and Puritans came to America to practice religious freedom. In the 1500s England broke away from the Roman Catholic Church and created a new church called the Church of England. There was a group of people called Separatists that wanted to separate from the Church of England.
