Puritans

The religious group was called puritan because they were supposed to be "pure." They had very strict rules about religion and did not let their people change religions. In a way, they were somewhat the exact opposite of Quakers. Puritans were sometimes flogged if they did something wrong.

I think the puritans were important because they were pure

The Puritan's were mainly in the New England colonies so their influence in the rest of the colonies was limited. They did not tolerate different religions and thought they were the "true faith" while others were the work of the devil. The colonies were a variety of cultures and faiths. Colonial America was a melting pot and by 1775 about 6% of the population was German, 7% Scot/Irish and the Welsh, Dutch, Swedes, Jewish, Swiss populations made up about 5% of the colonies. This means there were Catholics, Jewish, and various Protestant religions that made up the colonies. There were two main churches and these were the Anglican and Congregational. The Anglican became the official faith in Georgia, North and South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and NY. It served as the major voice of the king. The Congregation church grew out of Puritan and was formally established in all the New England colonies and taxed all residents to support the church.

Puritan New England was very interested in education and stressed the use of the Bible for reading to make good Christians. The first educational laws were passed in the New England colonies.

If there was any one factor that led to any decline it would be the intolerance they had towards other religions and cultures.

The puritan republic began on January 30, 1649, when the Rump Parliament moved to execute Charles I. They also removed monarchy, the House of Lords, and the Anglican church completely from the country of England. This led to the Puritan republic, which ended in 1658 when its leader, Oliver Cromwell, passed away. The people had begun to hate its disorder and the debt that it caused, so after Cromwell's death they decided to reinstate monarchy.

The Puritans developed a form of theocracy. They believed that the Church was all important and to follow the belief's of the Puritans, the Church and State (government) should operate as one. Puritans were followers of the teachings of Calvin and believed, like the Separatists, that man was born in sin and they all bore the guilt of Adam and Eve. To become saved, they would have to prove they were worthy while here on earth. To be worthy one would prosper, be faithful, and lead a successful life. Instead of separating from the Church of England, they wanted to “purify” the Church of the influence of the Catholic Church within the Anglican Church, thus the name, Puritans. Puritans wanted to remove themselves from non-Puritans. They originally wanted to leave Great Britain because they were not pleased with the way non-Puritans were worshipping without much interference.

The role Puritan women played by the 16th or 17th century was to raise their kids right and teach them them moral values. They would be taught about their agreement with God and stories and lessons of the bible. They would cook, clean, and sew. These things were expected by Puritan women, but if they didn't do what they were supposed to do, they would be out casted by the society. Puritan women were highly obedient to their husbands and were very dutiful tot their house work.

They came to look for land.

how did puritans punish disobedient children?

i dont know i am sorry im looking for this answe too can any one help please

Primarily Pilgrims were in Plymouth (Massachusetts), but the Puritans got the charter for Massachusetts Bay Colony. Philadelphia was a secular colony established by a Quaker, but that isn't quite New England. Providence (Rhode island) Colony was established by a Baptist, Roger Williams after the Puritans gave him the boot from Salem. Connecticut Colony was started by Puritan Thomas Hooker.

They left England and the Netherlands for more religious freedom and for land. Most European countries had a state religion. Roman Catholicism in most countries and the Anglican Church in England. Thus our Constitution fordiding a state, or national religion. All the signers of our Constitution were Christians. There were no Jewish or Catholics. Ninety five per cent of the signers were active church members. Of course this happened much later, after the Puritans landed and established a country. But there desire to worship without interference from the government carried over into the time of our constitution.

Archbishop added a few catholic touches to the Protestant Church.

This included decorating the church- Protestants only liked plain churches . The Protestants reacted badly to this change though

in puritain doctrine "elect" are referred to as?

Ceremonial Killings were a Puritan thing but if you study carefully the new Puritan's that moved to Massachusetts looking for religious freedom often did use capital punishment such as hangings and stone pressure (victim is tied to the ground and stone slabs mounted on their chest until they cease to breathe).

Women were not exempt from such deaths.

However, for smaller crimes such as gossiping, Puritans would actually sew the gossiping women's eyes and mouth shut so they could see no evil or speak no evil. Sadly i do not know the exact name of this ritual/punishment.

They were escaping religious persecution in Europe. Originally, they were supposed to land in Jamestown with the other English settlers, but their ships went a little off course so they landed in Plymouth, MA instead.

Roger Williams disagreed with the Puritan government of Massachusetts because he thought they were being intolerant and rigid about religion. Although he was the same religion as they were, he had a very different interpretation: he was what we today would consider liberal or moderate, and he believed in religious freedom. Roger Williams wanted people to have the right to seek God in their own way: he believed Massachusetts should be welcoming to people of all religions, even non-Christians.

He also believed women should have the right to speak in public, and he believed dissenters should not be punished. Further, he believed the native peoples (called Indians back then) were being treated unfairly, and that colonists should not take their land from them. These were not the views the leadership of Massachusetts had, and eventually, they asked him to leave.

life was hard and tough puritan children had to starve most of the time traveling all the time and being restless puritans were very poor and had no food but like a little i dont know why uritans or how puritans lived like that all their life but they did and until this day puritans are still standing i think

Some of the healthy Pilgrims were more lucky thathe others. The piligrims tried their best to survive, and if they did not make it, the other people would eat the person. This was what they had to go through if they wanted to survive.

The Pilgrims emigrated from England to Holland in search of religious freedom. They were being persecuted by the crown of England because they belonged to a group called the Separatists, who wanted to separate from the Church of England, which was illegal at the time.

The Puritans were opposed to just about everything the theater and its patrons stood for. Huge crowds were attracted to some venues like the Globe and those crowds tended to attract certain undesirable elements. These included people like prostitutes, pickpockets, gamblers and drinkers. Puritans felt the bawdy nature of the plays were sinful and that it encouraged crime, drinking, fighting and gambling.

There were a number of Puritan ministers and church members who came to disagree with how the colony was being run, but you are probably thinking of Roger Williams. He was among the best-known dissenters and he so strongly disagreed with the colony's Puritan leaders that he left Massachusetts and founded what became Rhode Island.

The Puritans believed that following God's exact teachings was what made them great. If one followed the religious beliefs, then they were considered "pure," or a Puritan. Anyone who did not follow God in any way was not "pure" and considered a descendant of Satan. They wanted their lives to be pure, not contaminated.

No,but they both came for religious reasons. The reason they are not the same people is because the puritons were rich and the pilgrams were not rich.

Puritanism was a movement rather than a separate religion who believed that The Reformation of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries did not go far enough in ridding England and Europe of the corruption stemming from the Roman Catholic Church. Their view of many crimes including witchcraft, murder and treason took a very hard line. These crimes were punishable by death.
