What is pilgirm?

Pilgrims were separatists, followers of the teachings of John Calvin, who believed that human nature was inherently depraved, and all bore the guilt of Adam and Eve. Pilgrims wanted to separate themselves from the Church of England. They also wanted to separate themselves from those who were not believers, the damned. Pilgrims believed they were elected by God for salvation and they wanted to worship only with other “saints” who had also been saved by God. They sought to establish a colony in America to achieve these aims.
