Detailed explanation-1: -Known as “separatists, ” these Puritans left their homeland and in 1609 moved to Leiden, Holland, where they hoped to worship freely, without harassment from church authorities.

Detailed explanation-2: -The pilgrims of the Mayflower were a group of around 100 people seeking religious freedom from the Church of England.

Detailed explanation-3: -Meanwhile, the Pilgrims are seen as the importers of religious freedom to the United States and stalwarts of the idea that each person should be able to worship as they choose, a narrative that is repeated annually during Thanksgiving celebrations.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Pilgrims believed that before the foundation of the world, God predestined to make the world, man, and all things. He also predestined, at that time, who would be saved, and who would be damned. Only those God elected would receive God’s grace, and would have faith.
