The Pilgrims were a group of Puritans who believed that the Church of England was too corrupt. They wanted to establish their own church, free from the influence of the state. In 1608, a group of Pilgrims fled to the Netherlands, where they lived for 12 years.

In 1620, the Pilgrims decided to sail to the New World. They boarded the Mayflower and set sail from Plymouth, England. The journey was long and difficult. The Pilgrims were seasick and many of them died from disease. After 66 days, the Mayflower finally arrived in Cape Cod Bay.

The Pilgrims were not welcomed by the Native Americans who lived in the area. The Native Americans were afraid of the Pilgrims and they attacked them several times. The Pilgrims were also unprepared for the harsh climate of the New World. They were starving and they had no shelter.

Despite the challenges they faced, the Pilgrims managed to survive. They built a settlement in Plymouth and they began to farm the land. They also established a government and a church. The Pilgrims' settlement was the first permanent English settlement in the New World.
