As our story moves to the New England colonies, we need to go back to Europe and meet that first group of settlers that head to Plymouth. The Pilgrims begin their story in England, before heading to the Netherlands for a few years, and then make their journey across the Atlantic on the Mayflower in 1620. So who were these people? What were their reasons for wanting to leave England and establish a new colony in North America? This week we are going to answer those questions and more as we head back to England to meet the group that would become known as the Pilgrims.
