Plymouth colony was settled by a religious group known as?

Answer 1

John Wayne knew a Pilgrim when he saw one.

Answer 2

First two are wrong, sorry. Plymouth was settled by the Pilgrims, not the Puritans! Puritans settled Boston, just up the coast. For a long time Plymouth Colony and Massachusetts Bay Colony were separate. Pilgrims and Puritans were similar theologically, and were simply reformers who wanted to see the Church of England 'purified' of Roman Catholic practices. However, the Pilgrim group had long before decided that things weren't going to happen that way and had separated themselves from the C of E. The Puritans, on the other hand, long remained a faction within the C of E, until they too realized their ideas weren't going anywhere -- so they did -- and followed the Pilgrims 10 years later.
