Answer:

The Pilgrims and the Puritans both choose to leave their homeland and settle in New England because they hoped to practice their religious beliefs

Step-by-step explanation:

The Puritans and Pilgrims' reason for coming to America was to put their spiritual practices into action freely.

The Pilgrims had a long and troublesome voyage over the Atlantic Ocean. A tempest brushed them off-kilter and opposed their arriving in Virginia; they landed further north in Cape Cod.

The Pilgrims chose to settle here and called it Plymouth. There was an issue with them staying; there was no type of government to pursue. The Virginia Company gave the Pilgrims a sanction to settle in Virginia.
