The Puritans opposed maypole celebrations because they viewed them as pagan rituals associated with hedonism and immorality. They believed that such festivities encouraged frivolity, distraction from religious duties, and promoted sinful behavior. The Puritans sought to establish a strict moral code based on their interpretation of The Bible, and they considered maypole dancing to be incompatible with their values of piety and discipline. As a result, they often sought to suppress or ban these celebrations in their communities.
