Answer:
False
Step-by-step explanation:
Before the first Thanksgiving, some people in the Church of England were being persecuted by the Anglicans. They wanted to change the church, but Separatists didn't. They were being persecuted, that they were beaten, killed, and forced to accept and change in the new church. Those that fled, went on a ship called the Mayflower. They called themselves Pilgrims because they believe they were on a religious mission. Religious persecution of British Colonies were taken place years later.
