1000 people came an complained
Because they want to live in Massachusetts
Puritans and some non Puritans led by Thomas Hooker moved to Connecticut and founded a colony there.
Because the Puritans settled Massachusetts, the colony began with much democracy like town councils supported by Puritan religion. They also caused an exodus of people who believed differently from them and were in the colony. This exodus lead to the creation of Rhode Island, Connectticut and New Hampshire.

Yes, the Puritans were a group of English Protestants who sought to reform the Church of England and faced persecution in Europe. They settled in the New World, particularly in New England, in search of religious freedom and the ability to practice their beliefs without interference. The Elizabethan Settlement established the Church of England as a Protestant church, but it did not fully satisfy the Puritans, leading some to seek religious refuge in America.
Some went to Virginia, but most settled in New England, establishing the Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts in 1620, the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the area of present-day Boston in 1829, and the Connecticut Colony in 1636.
The Pilgrims came to the shores of New England in 1620, many of them were Puritans but not all of them. Some individuals came to escape dire economic conditions in England and saw coming to New England as an opportunity.
In 1600, the Puritans lived primarily in England and some had also settled in the Netherlands to escape religious persecution. It was not until the early 17th century that the Puritans began to establish colonies in America, such as the Plymouth Colony and Massachusetts Bay Colony.
i need to know to please some one answer it
Well, the Puritans were the first ones to come over to the New World from England, so they have a huge affect on American history. Some of America's oldest customs would not be practiced if the Puritans did not land and the Jamestown colony was not settled in 1607. That should give you the basic idea: the Puritans were the first. If you need anything else, just let me know.

a group of puritans aiming for land sold to them by Britain got off course in a storm. when landing there they got off to a bad start but a group of Indians called the Wampanaog helped them settle.
