Puritanism significantly influenced Benjamin Franklin's values and work ethic, instilling a strong sense of morality, discipline, and the importance of self-improvement. Although he later adopted a more secular and pragmatic approach, the Puritan emphasis on education, hard work, and civic responsibility shaped his worldview and pursuits. Franklin's commitment to virtue and personal development can be seen in his "Thirteen Virtues," which reflect the Puritan belief in striving for moral excellence. Ultimately, while he moved away from strict religious adherence, the foundational principles of Puritanism remained evident in his character and contributions to American society.

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.
