The religion was assigned by the government also known as a Monarchy. Wrong. The people who settled in the New England colonies came to America for the religious freedom it offered (unlike the southern colonies whose people came to make money). They wanted to purify or reform the church of England, and if not that then to start a new church in New England. These people were known as the Puritans. They believed that the Protestant Reformation began, but was never able to finish in England. They wanted to finish this reformation.
