Question

how did it cotribute to their success i America

Answer 1

Puritanism,was not only a historically specific phenomenon coincident with the founding of New England; it was also a way of being in the world--a style of response to lived experience--that has reverberated through American life ever since.

Puritanism was a response to these new social and psychological conditions as well as a strictly religious movement. It stressed the pastoral responsibility of the clergy and thus placed an unprecedented emphasis on the sermon as the central rite of religious life.

Though "the New England Way" evolved into a relatively minor system of organizing religious experience within the broader American scene, its central themes recur in the related religious communities of Quakers, Baptists, Presbyterians, Methodists, and a whole range of evangelical Protestants.

Puritan attitudes and ethics continued to exert an influence on American society. They made a virtue of qualities that made for economic success—self-reliance, frugality, industry, and energy—and through them influenced modern social and economic life. Their concern for education was important in the development of the United States, and the idea of congregational democratic church government was carried into the political life of the state as a source of modern democracy.

Answer 2

I guess if you think about their alleged work ethic, that contributed to their success. What about their decision to travel accross the world to live life the way they wanted, adventursome. What about banning Christmas for a few years so we wouldn't have to listen to that infernal piped music all the time in December? How about beheading a king so they could form a parliament, pretty radical.

If they were upright and full of integrity, no matter how misguided on times, it must have been their devotion to the bible as the word of God.
