Church of England
The Puritans came to power during the English Civil War after they came out in opposition to William Laud, the Archbishop of Canterbury at the time. They called for reform within the Church of England, that would eliminate Bishops, and set up the Church of England along Presbyterian guidelines. The English Civil War is sometimes known as the Puritan Revolution.
Puritans and Presbyterians almost always supported the Roundheads, while Church of England had many adherents in both the Roundheads and Cavaliers alike.
Pennsylvanians were Quakers. Those who settled Massachusetts were Puritans. It would take a book to detail the differences, but here are a couple of belief differences. Quakers made a break with the Church of England. They are pacifists who do not believe in war. Puritans wanted to keep the Church of England but move it more away from the Catholic Church, so their beliefs were more like protestants.
