            Pilgrims (TE 174)       In seventeenth-century England, a group of religious farmers and artisans tried to form their own church.  Mocked by their neighbors and reprimanded by the Church of England, they moved to Holland to find religious freedom.  Although the English farmers and artisans established themselves in Amsterdam (1608) and then in Leiden (1609), they did not want to lose their British way of life.  In 1616, they sent agents to England to negotiate with the Virginia Company for a charter for a colony.  An agreement eventually was reached, and the Pilgrims returned to England on a ship called the Speedwell, which, with the Mayflower, was to take them to America.  The Speedwell proved to be unseaworthy, however, so all the Pilgrims crowded onto the Mayflower and set out from Plymouth, England, in September 1620.
