People tend to answer this question with "for freedom of religion". This leaves something wanting. It is simply too vague. If you look in the history books, you will see, the Pilgrims came to America for Christian freedom. They didn't like the way the Church of England was teaching. It was too controlling. They came to America to Praise the triune God the way they felt was best, without influence from the Church of England which is most comparable to the Episcopal church in the U.S.
