Respuesta :
The answer is B. While they were not necessarily physically forced to leave England, the Pilgrims and Puritans came to America to escape religious persecution. They wanted religious freedom and to be able to create a society where they could live by the rules they believe God set for them. I would like to point out, however, that while the Pilgrims wanted to separate completely from the Church of England, the Puritans wanted to reform the church, ultimately hoping to return to it when it more closely followed their own beliefs. That is the main difference between the two groups.
