The Puritans were English Protestants who were unhappy with the Church of England. They believed it had strayed too far from the Bible and was too close to the Catholic church in its rich decoration and its belief that a person could have a relationship with God only through a church and a priest, not directly. They believed in plain and simple houses, clothing and churches, not the rich decorations of the time. They were persecuted by the Church and by King James and so left England for America in order to worship as they believed. The first Pilgrims in America went to Virginia in 1618, but most went to New England. The Pilgrims founded the Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts in 1620. Other Puritans established the Massachusetts Bay Colony near present-day Boston in 1829 and the Connecticut Colony in 1636.
