The Puritans were a group of people, mostly families, who came from Europe to America to reform the church of England.

The Puritans wanted to be free from religious prosecution in England. During the 1620s England's economy suffered. Many people lost their jobs. The English king, Charles I, made the situation worse by raising taxes. This unpopular act led to a political crisis. At the same time, the Church of England began to punish Puritans because they were dissenters, or people who disagree with official opinions. King Charles refused to allow Puritans to criticize church actions.
