Answer:

Puritans seeked refudge in the New World since they were wanted for not following the Church on England.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the 1500s, England broke away from the Roman Catholic Church and created a new church called the Church of England. Puritans did not agree with the Church of England, so they went to the Netherlands first to seek refudge, but later sailed for the New World.
