Best Answer

Plymouth Colony (or Plantation), the second permanent English settlement in North America, was founded in 1620 by settlers including a group of religious dissenters commonly referred to as the Pilgrims. Though theologically very similar to the Puritans who later founded the massachusetts-bay-colony, the Pilgrims believed that the Church of England could not be reformed. Rather than attempting to purifythe church, the Pilgrims desired a total separation
