I assume you are inquiring about The Puritans. This term was used to describe members of the Church of England, who wished to purify it of all semblances to the Roman Catholic Church, in particular to the lithurgy, vestments, and episcopal hierarchy. A radical minority within the Puritan movement, The Separatists, wanted to remove itself from the English church and worship in its own independent congregation. Those Puritans who did sail to the United States in 1630 mantained they were not separatists but wanted to purify the Church of England by establishing their own "city upon a hill." By the end of the 17th century, puritan political influence had largely disappeared in Massachusetts, though attitudes associated with it remained.
