The main reason why the Pilgrims wanted to
come over to America, was in prospect
religious freedom.
Freedom of Religion: A principal that supports the
freedom of an individual or community, in public or
private, to manifest religion or belief in teaching,
practice, worship, and observance
Inspiration for Our Generation
So remember, Freedom is not a
guarantee and should be cherished;
not everyone has this blessing.
Americans are fortunate because we
have not had to deal with the
persecution of a government that does
not allow us opportunities and
freedoms offered in the United
States.
