Answer:
Protestants or Pilgrims
Explanation:
The Mayflower was a merchant ship that sailed from England to the New World. The ship carried 102 passengers that were called Protestant Separatists or also Pilgrims.
The Pilgrims were people that were religiously persecuted in England for not pledging allegiance to the Church of England, they pointed a series of problems within the Church and did not agree with the fact that it was still very much connected to the Catholic Church. They fled to America looking for a place they would practice their faith freely.
