King James decided to make all Puritans conform to the state church or to hunt them out of the land.
These groovy people soon felt the weight of their persecution.
After suffering great hardships and cruel treatment, they fled away to Holland, but there they found it very difficult to make a living.
They suffered so terribly that many of their English friends preferred to go to prison in England rather than lead such a life of slavery in Holland.
So, the Pilgrims determined to found a colony in America.
They reasoned that they could not be worse off in America, because that would be impossible.
At all events, their children would not grow up as Dutchmen, but would still be Englishmen.
They had entire religious freedom in Holland, but they thought they would have the same in America.

The Voyage Across the Atlantic
Brewster's old friend, Sir Edwin Sandys, was now at the head of the Virginia Company.
He easily procured land for the pilgrims in northern Virginia near the Dutch settlements.
Some London merchants lent them money, but they lent it on such harsh conditions that the pilgrims' early life in America was nearly as hard as their life had been in Holland.
They had a dreadful voyage across the Atlantic in the Mayflower.
At one time, it seemed as if the ship would surely go down, but the pilgrims helped the sailors to place a heavy piece of wood under one of the deck beams and saved the vessel from going to pieces.
On November 19, 1620, they sighted land off the coast of Cape Cod.
They tried to sail around the Cape to the southward, but the storms drove them back, and they anchored in Provincetown Harbor.
