Where did the Puritans settle in the New World?

Answer 1

The Puritans sailed from England to America on the Mayflower, and landed on Cape Cod in November of 1620. Many of them died within several months of landing, but the survivors soon established colonies, including Plymouth, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Maine, Rhode Island, and New Haven.

Answer 2

Basically, in order to practice their form of religion within the Church of England. Puritans were followers of the teachings of Calvin and believed, like the Separatists, that man was born in sin and they all bore the guilt of Adam and Eve. To become saved, they would have to prove they were worthy while here on earth. To be worthy one would prosper, be faithful, and lead a successful life. Instead of separating from the Church of England, they wanted to "purify" the Church of the influence of the Catholic Church within the Anglican Church, thus the name, Puritans. Puritans wanted to remove themselves from non-Puritans. They originally wanted to leave Great Britain because they were not pleased with the way non-Puritans were worshipping without much interference.
