The Puritans were English Protestants in the 16th and 17th centuries, including English Calvinists.
Puritans felt that the English Reformation had not gone far enough, and that the Church of England was still too tolerant of practices which they associated with the Catholic Church.
Puritans were fundamentally anti-Catholic and felt that the Church of England was still too close to Catholicism and needed to be reformed further.
Puritans were unable to have these reforms implemented and most left the Church of England and many emigrated overseas.
Particularly in the years after 1630, Puritans left for America, supporting the founding of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and other settlements.

The conflict between the Puritans and the Church of England was primarily due to differences in religious beliefs and practices. Puritans believed in a simpler, more pure form of worship that was not aligned with the elaborate rituals of the Church of England. They also sought to purify the church from what they perceived as remaining Roman Catholic influences. This tension ultimately led to the persecution and eventual migration of the Puritans to the New World.
