The first Puritans to arrive in America were a group of English settlers who sought religious freedom from the Church of England. They established the Plymouth Colony in 1620, led by figures such as William Bradford and William Brewster. These Puritans aimed to create a "city upon a hill," a community based on their strict religious beliefs and moral values. Their arrival marked a significant moment in American colonial history, influencing future religious and social practices.

Well, the Puritans were the first ones to come over to the New World from England, so they have a huge affect on American history.
