Which groups came to the new world for religious fredom?

Several groups sought religious freedom in the New World, notably the Pilgrims, who established Plymouth Colony in 1620 to escape persecution from the Church of England. The Puritans, who followed in the 1630s, aimed to create a community based on their strict interpretation of Christianity. Additionally, Quakers, Catholics, and various dissenting Protestant sects also migrated to North America in search of a place to practice their faith without oppression. These movements played a significant role in shaping the early colonies and their values.
