What considerations influenced many people to move to America?

Many European immigrants left their homelands to escape political and religious oppression as well as economic difficulties and poverty.

In 1620 a group of colonists known as the Pilgrim fathers came to North America on the famous ship the Mayflower.

The Pilgrim Fathers were Separatists in England or members of the Puritan movement. They wished to purify the Church of England by making religious services simpler and discipline stricter. That is why they were called Puritans. They were persecuted by English officials and after moving a lot they considered America. Puritans called themselves Pilgrims because of their wanderings in search of religious freedom.
