What did the founders of Massachusetts bay mean when they said their colony was a City on a hill?
John Winthrop and his followers were very religious. Their denomination was called "Puritans," because they wanted to purify Christianity from what they believed were errors in doctrine and practice. Winthrop envisioned a Christian theocracy, a government run by religion, where religious values (faith and piety, hard work, avoidance of sin) would create what he believed to be an ideal place to live and work. This place would be a shining example to others coming to the New World, a "city on the hill" that others could look up to and emulate. Of course, it turned out that many colonists found the Puritans harsh and judgmental, and they left the colony. But Winthrop did not expect that to occur-- he sincerely believed a Christian colony where Puritanism ruled would lead to only good things.
