The Puritans established a colony in the Americas primarily to seek religious freedom and create a community governed by their strict interpretations of Christianity. Discontent with the Church of England's practices, they aimed to build a society based on their beliefs and values, free from persecution. The Massachusetts Bay Colony, founded in 1630, served as a model for their vision of a "city upon a hill," embodying their ideals of moral purity and communal responsibility.
