In the 1600s, several forces undermined Puritanism, including the rise of religious pluralism as dissenters and other denominations challenged Puritan beliefs. The increasing economic prosperity led to a focus on materialism, which contrasted with Puritan ideals of simplicity and piety. Additionally, the expansion of individualism encouraged personal interpretations of faith, weakening the strict communal adherence to Puritan doctrine. Political tensions, such as conflicts with Native Americans and the English Civil War, further distracted from and divided the Puritan community.

The establishment of the Plymouth Colony by the Pilgrims or also known as "puritans" had no long-lasting negatives fro America. The affect on the local Native Americans they came in contact with were for the most part friendly ones.

The Puritans left England in order to worship God in the way they believed was right. They founded three colonies in the New England, Plymouth in 1620 and Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630, both located in Massachusetts, and the Connecticut Colony in 1636.

Some people say they came because they wanted religious freedom, but that's not really correct, because they believed their way of worship was the only right way and did not allow people who believed something different to worship as they saw fit. The Puritans settled only in the New England region.

Since most of the Pilgrims actually were Puritans themselves, the answer is yes.

The Puritans believed in educating everyone because they felt that an educated congregation was necessary to understand the Bible and develop a personal relationship with God. They believed that education was crucial for maintaining a moral society and that all individuals should be able to read and interpret scripture for themselves. Additionally, they viewed education as a way to combat ignorance and promote a deeper faith.

Yes, Puritans were known to participate in cockfighting, despite their reputation for strict religious and moral codes. While they often condemned various forms of gambling and entertainment, cockfighting was sometimes tolerated as a form of sport and social gathering. However, attitudes toward such activities varied, and over time, many Puritan communities ultimately sought to discourage or prohibit them.

Puritan's were highly religions and did not believe in any type of witchcraft and so they felt the need to excommunicate any women they felt were part of witchcraft. Nevertheless, lots of women were put for trial while being innocent

Although most of New England's settlers were Puritans, these people did not agree about religious doctrine. Some, like the Pilgrims of Plymouth, believed that the Church of England should be renounced, while others, like Massachusetts Bay's leaders, felt that the English church could be reformed. Other issues that divided Puritans involved who could be admitted to church membership, who could be baptized, and who could take communion.

Disagreements over religious beliefs led to the formation of a number of new colonies. In 1636, Thomas Hooker (1586-1647), a Cambridge, Massachusetts minister, established the first English settlement in Connecticut. Convinced that government should rest on free consent, he extended voting rights beyond church members. Two years later, another Massachusetts group founded New Haven colony in order to combat moral laxness by setting strict standards for church membership and basing its laws on the Old Testament. This colony was incorporated by Connecticut in 1662.

The theater grew out of the tradition of enacting religious dramas. By the time of the Puritans, it was heavily secular, most of the material had nothing to do with religion. Theaters were seen in the same light as public houses, worldly music and dancing. They were magnets for vice, drunkenness, gambling, and prostitution. And they were fun. All this made them distractions from the pursuit of a higher, moral society pursued by the Puritans
