A. Puritans and Pilgrims both desired religious freedom.
Both Puritans and Pilgrims sought religious freedom, but they had different approaches and perspectives on how to achieve it. The Pilgrims, also known as the Separatists, sought to completely separate from the Church of England. The Puritans, while sharing similar religious concerns, aimed to reform the Church of England from within. Both groups played significant roles in the early colonization of North America.
