    Puritans

    Explanation:

    The first English colony in North America was Jamestown (named after King James, the heir of Elizabeth I Tudor) in present-day Virginia, founded in 1607 in the territory of the great Confederation of the Algonquin tribes of Pauvatan. Thirteen years later, the English Puritans, apostates of the Anglican Church, arrived in the New World aboard the Mayflower in 16201. They landed in the territory of the present-day state of Massachusetts. In the vicinity they established the Plymouth colony in the coastal area and the land that was called New England in 1616, until then the French and other Europeans called it Norumbega. Historians often refer to them as "Puritans," but they called themselves "separatists" because they separated from the Anglican Church, or "saints" because their church, in its early Christian model, was "the church of the saints." The name "pilgrims" used are members of the Mayflower Passenger Descendants Society.
