Answer 2

You need to clarify your terms before you get started.

Are you studying "the Puritans" generally? This was a much larger movement with many branches over a few centuries.

Or do you mean ONLY the group who came to Massachusetts in 1620, who are nowadays called "the Pilgrims"? Note that this was just ONE Puritan group. It shares major points of the Calvinistic THEOLOGY of most other "Puritan" groups, but had its own distinctives. Most importantly, it was a "separatist" group that believed the Church of England could not itself be purified from within and so they must split with it. Other Puritan groups sought to work WITHIN the Church.

Now, if you want to look specifically at the "Pilgrims", you need to check out the two (or three?) congregations in and around the town of Scrooby (in the county of Nottinghamshire, in the Midlands district of England) in the late 16th century. I'll see if I can tack on a few good links about this.

Answer 3

Puritans were a group who broke from the Church of England in the late 1500's They didn't care for the way the church condoned the many practices that were in style at that time. One of them was the observance of Christmas. For more info go to ASK.com they have a good list on their history and teachings and why they decided to come to America.

the unique Church of britain develop into Calvinist if something. check out the 39 Articles. Charles I and Laud introduced in many inventions, which consists of Armenianism, which Puritans theory heretical, even verging on Catholicism. subsequently lots of the contest to Charles and significant emigration to u.s.. The Commonwealth develop into lots greater tolerant than the two Charles I or Charles II. in fact there develop into no criminal criminal accountability to bypass to church in any respect. Charles II persecuted every person who did not conform to the C of E and back, many emigrated. The Church of britain develop into, nonetheless, frequently greater 'Protestant' than it rather is now, with greater emphasis on preaching and much less on ritual. It develop into the nineteenth Century Oxford flow which develop into somewhat important in shifting the axis of the C of E in a Catholic course. (nonetheless you will discover some who will deny this, and countless who do not understand that the C of E in (say) Jane Austen's day, develop into not something like it rather is now.)

This guy was a real trip! Presided over the Salem witch-trials. He is typical of the time.
Seems these people came to America for the freedom to deny others their own.
