How did puritanism decline?
The decline of Puritanism was due to several factors. One major factor was the internal struggle Puritans faced in America. There was much resentment of the power of few over many. Also, Massachusetts became a Crown colony, and theocracy suffered from the lack of flexibility. Puritanism also decayed because many disliked the "closed" lifestyle, and when the presence of the frontier was made known, the concept of self-reliance, individualism, and optimism became popular.As for when it ended, well it never really did. Hints of Puritanism are still alive today. The pride we take in our nation and communities closely resembles that of Puritans. Also, most religions share some common beliefs with the Puritans (for more info on their basic beliefs check http://www.csustan.edu/english/reuben/pal/chap1/chap1.html).
