Where did the Protestant group called puritans move for religious freedom before they came to America?

Before coming to America, the Puritans initially moved to the Netherlands in the early 1600s, seeking religious freedom from the Church of England. They settled in cities like Leiden, where they could practice their beliefs more freely. However, they faced challenges such as language barriers and economic hardships, prompting many to seek a new life in America, where they hoped to establish a community based on their religious principles.
