Question

Where was the destination of the pigrims?

Answer 1

I hope you meant pilgrims?  Their destination was "The new world."  Looks like they made it, huh!

Answer 2

pilgrims you mean?

Anyplace they could escape as far as I know.

Answer 3

There were and are lots of pilgrims in lots of contexts. In Western Europe during the Middle Ages for Christians there were countless minor pilgrimages and 3 great ones: to Jerusalem, to Rome, and to Santiago de Compostela in Spain.

The "pilgrims" who came to North Ameican were unusual in that they were not going to a place already famous for religious events or people, in fact they were kind of escaping rather than going toward something.
