Best Answer

Puritans were known for their belief that pleasure is sin. They lived very simplistically, looking down on celebration and holidays as pagan traditions. They came to America's colonies mainly the Northeast and Massachusetts bay to be a model to the Church of England, which they wished to reform. They were not separatists.
