Best Answer

The Pilgrims wanted to separate from the church in England, which is why they left for America. The Puritans wanted to purify or improve the practices of the church which is why they came to America. The similarities were that they wanted to leave to escape discrimination by the king for their religious practices which did not follow the rules of the English church.
