In the Colonial Period of America's History, the New England colonists established themselves in North America for many of the same reasons as other colonists, English and others alike, had done so. Distinctively, however, the New England colonists were strongly Puritan at the start: they sought to build a 'city on a hill' that would provide them with a home in which to practice their religious faith freely -- and which might inspire the same faith in others.
