By settling in the New World the Puritans were hoping to give an example to the corrupt that they believed was taking place in New England. They're hopes were to create a model society or "a city upon a hill" as John Winthrop put it. Though they worked hard and made a half decent life in the New World the thing they failed at was grabbing the attention of New England in the first place.
