Ultimately, this persecution and their desire for spiritual freedom led them to flee England and establish a religious haven in Pennsylvania.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the autumn of 1620, a group of Christians fleeing persecution for their faith by the English Crown took ship on the Mayflower, intent on establishing in the New World a perfect society where all people would be free to worship as they wished.
