21. Yes, the Pilgrims were actually Separatists
The Puritans were willing to stay in the Church of England and "reform it from within," although they gave up on this when the monarchy was restored and everyone started having fun again.

The Separatists wanted to start their own denomination.

The Pilgrims founded Plymouth Plantations, and the Puritans founded the Massachusetts Bay Colony, which eventually united to become the state of Massachusetts.
