The puritans left England in hopes to "purify" or reform the practices of King Henry VIII's new mandatory religion: The Church of England. You see, the King, as you may already know, had been through a number of wives, and couldn't just keep killing them. He was running out of excuses to make divorce okay in the Catholic Church, so he just altered the rules slightly, and called it The Church of England. There were groups called the Separatists who left because they didn't like the Church of England. Those people are the people you know as Pilgrims. The puritans, however, didn't mind the Church of England, they just wanted to purify its practices. They traveled to America in fear that the Kind would not like their attempt at reformation of the practices. They settled along the coast of the Massachusetts Bay.

They were dissatisfied with the Church of England and aimed to establish a society based on their strict religious beliefs and practices. In 1630, led by John Winthrop, a significant group of Puritans emigrated to New England, where they hoped to create a "city upon a hill" that would serve as a model of Christian virtue. Their migration was largely driven by the desire for religious freedom and the opportunity to build a community aligned with their values.

Who and what was a purtian?

I assume you are inquiring about The Puritans. This term was used to describe members of the Church of England, who wished to purify it of all semblances to the Roman Catholic Church, in particular to the lithurgy, vestments, and episcopal hierarchy. A radical minority within the Puritan movement, The Separatists, wanted to remove itself from the English church and worship in its own independent congregation. Those Puritans who did sail to the United States in 1630 mantained they were not separatists but wanted to purify the Church of England by establishing their own "city upon a hill." By the end of the 17th century, puritan political influence had largely disappeared in Massachusetts, though attitudes associated with it remained.

This triumphalism fostered further expansion and consolidation of their settlements, reinforcing their view of themselves as chosen people in a promised land.
