C. They came to get rich from the gold found in the Massachusetts Bay Colony.


D. They fled from religious persecution in England.

Answer 1

The correct answer is
D. They fled from religious persecution in England.

They were puritans so everyone in Europe disliked them. Puritans were something like extremist protestant Christians with extreme work ethics and ideas of Christian purity. This wasn't approved by the regular Catholics or by the common protestants.
