The charter took away some of the Puritans political privileges
Dick Purtan was born in 1936.
About 20-25,000 Puritans migrated from England to New England between 1620s to the 1640s. Their influence still exists and the denominations now known as the United Church of Christ and the Unitarian Universalist Association are their direct descendants, although the doctrine of both groups has changed significantly. Their numbers in Massachusetts grew (there are now about 125,000 UCC members in the state), but they were quickly dwarfed by hoards of other immigrants into the colony, a majority Roman Catholic in the 19th century.
