USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Pilgrims were separatists who first settled in Plymouth, Mass., in 1620 and later set up trading posts on the Kennebec River in Maine, on Cape Cod and near Windsor, Conn. Puritans were non-separatists who, in 1630, joined the migration to establish the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Plymouth Colony was founded by the Pilgrims, a group of religious separatists from the Church of England.

Detailed explanation-3: -These original settlers of Plymouth Colony are known as the Pilgrim Fathers, or simply as the Pilgrims.

Detailed explanation-4: -They held many of the same Puritan Calvinist religious beliefs but, unlike most other Puritans, they maintained that their congregations should separate from the English state church, which led to them being labeled Separatists (the word “Pilgrims” was not used to refer to them until several centuries later).
