The original Puritans sought a large reform from what Christianity had turned into during the Middle Ages. They wanted to return Christianity to its roots and not just what people had made it. However, later, Puritan beliefs were used in the Great Awakening (mid 1700s, America) to manipulate and control people so that those in power would not lose it.
