The Pilgrims were a group of early settlers who journeyed to the present day United States from England, settling in the Plymouth Colony. The colony, established in 1620, was the second successful English settlement in the United States of America, the first being the Jamestown Colony, founded in 1607.
The Pilgrims originally fled to the Netherlands from the East Midlands of England to preserve their religion and later made arrangements with English investors to establish a new colony in North America to preserve their culture.
The colonists faced a lengthy series of challenges: bureaucracy, impatient investors, internal conflicts, sabotage, storms, disease, and uncertain relations with the Native Americans.
