Answer 3

The Pilgrim Fathers



Background

When James I came to the throne, he adopted a moderate Protestant religious policy. Both Catholics and Puritans were forbidden to practice their religions. Many extreme Puritans left England for Holland where Puritanism was accepted.



In 1607 Walter Raleigh had founded the English colony of Virginia in America and companies had begun trading between the colony and England.







Who were they?

Thirty-five members of the radical, Puritan, English Separatist Church, who had fled to Holland to avoid persecution, were recruited by an English stock company to go to Virginia to protect their business interests. The stock company financed the venture which, when it left England, included 102 men, women and children.
