Why did Mary Chilton go on the Mayflower?

Mary Chilton was one of the passengers on the Mayflower, primarily motivated by the desire for religious freedom. The Pilgrims, including Chilton and her family, sought to escape the constraints of the Church of England and establish a new life where they could practice their faith freely. The journey also represented an opportunity for a better life in the New World, where they hoped to build a community based on their beliefs and values.
