Why did the pilgrims sail to a new world?
They had to go away from Europe because persecuted by the Church. Cause of their different religion they were considered dangerous and heretics by the Catholic church. Regaurding the cause of why they were considered so… it can be said they were considerd heretics because their belief had some points that couldnt be accepted by the Church: this from a purely religious point of view. the other reason is that the Church at those times was afraid that some religious groups if left “uncontrolled” could get too much power: this is from a more realistic political point of view. That’s why the piligrims decided to sail to the new world.
