Peritans term for their belief that Massachusetts bay had a special arrangement?

The Pilgrims were the early English settlers of New England. The first group settled on what is now Plymouth in Massachusettes, in December of 1620. The early Pilgrims included many "Separatists." These people once belonged to the body of English Protestants known as "Puritans." The Puritans wished to adopt reforms that would purify the Church of England, the nation's official church.

After agreement that the group would establish an English Colony, a group of English merchants agreed to their expedition to the New World, that would become the United States of America.

How were the colonists alike?

During the 1600s, North American colonies had a number of common characteristics. For one thing, they had all been sponsored by, and primarily consisted of members of, European nations.

What problems resulted because puritans did not believe in religious?

Puritanism actually came about because of objections that the Church of England was too tolerant of views associated with the Catholic Church. Like many with strong religious views, they were intolerant of the religious views held by others, but were constrained by being in a minority in England and were themselves treated with considerable intolerance. One would expect that their experiences in England would cause the Puritans to adopt a more tolerant attitude in New England, but the Puritans wanted everyone to worship in the Puritan way. In order to ensure that Puritanism dominated the colonies, nonconformists were fined, banished, whipped, and even imprisoned for not conforming to the way of the Puritans. There was an element of profiteering in this movement, but the underlying theme was one of intolerance of those with whom they might disagree. Puritans were at the forefront of the witchhunts that resulted in the Salem witch trials.
