Relating to the Church of England

Answer 1

The Pilgrims were a religious group who wanted to separate from the Church of England. They came to America on the Mayflower and created the Mayflower Compact. The Puritans wanted to purify the Church of England and settled in Massachusetts.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pilgrims were members of a religious group who wanted to separate from the Church of England. They came over on the Mayflower ship in 1620 along with other settlers. Less than half of the people on the ship were Pilgrims. Before they exited the ship, they created a political document called the Mayflower Compact, which made rules for self-government. The Puritans were another religious group that wanted to “purify” the Church of England. They settled in Massachusetts between 1630 and 1640. They established public schools that emphasized the importance of reading so that people could study the Bible. They also believed in religious freedom and created laws to protect it.
