The myth has the Pilgrims coming to America in search of religious freedom. Not the case at all! They had all the religious freedom they could have asked for in Holland (where they stayed briefly after deserting England), but they weren’t after freedom of choice. What they wanted was a top-down religious dictatorship of their very own.
