A drawing of a group of pilgrims.

From the early 1600s.  First impression, these men, women and children left magnificent Europe - with it's grand cathedrals, it's comfortable inns, and convenient roads and  shops, for what?  A harsh land of nothing but massive trees, savage winters,  and neighbors who lived in the stone age.  The pilgrims left behind their rich European heritage, to permanently live in a land with no history.  Bet they felt disconnected. Couldn't help but feel sorry for them.
