What ways did ideas and values held by Puritans influence the Political Economic and Social Development of the New England colonies from 1630 to the 1660's?

Answer 1

The Puritan colonies in New England differed greatly with the other colonies in the Chesapeake Bay region, mainly because of the reasons for settling. While the Puritans settled to be "reformists from afar" of the Church of England, the Jamestown settlers emigrated from England for profit and individual economic gain. The reasons for settling would eventually effect the community structure of the colonies and result in success or failure.

Some of the effects of the religious community structure include:

• Stressed education (formation of schools such as Harvard to train ministers)

• Motivation for success (it was "God's will" that the New England colonies flourish)

• Diverse working class (farmers as well as artisans, created from families that immigrated instead of just young men who settled Jamestown)

• Democratic values (town hall meetings began with the Puritans)

• Separation of church and state (one of the first issues that tore at Puritan society, Roger Williams)

• First forms of rebellion (Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson form Rhode Island)
