The Puritans, a religious group seeking to purify the Church of England, hoped to establish a Christian colony in America. They sought a place where they could practice their faith freely and create a society based on their religious beliefs. In 1620, they founded Plymouth Colony, and later, the Massachusetts Bay Colony became a significant center for Puritanism. Their vision was to create a "city upon a hill" that exemplified their religious ideals.
