The Pilgrims decided to leave Europe because they wanted to escape religious persecution. At this time, there was not religious freedom in Europe. The British monarch decided upon the religion and that was the religion everyone adhered to. The Pilgrims were known as Separatists because they were separate from the Church of England. To maintain their religious freedom, they left Europe.
