Puritans

It was originally called the River Colony before it became a royal colony and just became the Colony of Connecticut.

Based on some of the disagreements while they were still on the ship that brought them to America, the leaders knew they needed some sort of document that would compel the settlers to work together as a team. The document was called the Mayflower Compact, and was signed before the pilgrims disembarked at the New World.

The Puritans came to the US to escape religious persecution in Europe. They left England, many going to Holland so that they could worship in their way instead of that of the Church of England. In Holland, persecution from the Catholics eventually led to their immigration to the Colonies to allow them religious freedom.
For religion.

They prabaly traded and sold the crops they grew.

The fundamental rules of the Puritans were obedience to God and to the community religious leaders. The rules included regulations against lust, greed, laziness, tempting Satan (through drinking, dancing, merry-making), and laws enforcing a strict Sabbath.

Puritan children wore clothing that was simple. Boys and girls wore similar clothing. It was made of lightweight fabric, and was not constricting. It was designed so children could move freely, and effortlessly.

The puritans made money by robbing the Indians.

Visible saints were people who appeared to be godly Christian people who would go to heaven when they died. Strict Puritans in colonial days only allowed visible saints to worship with them because they thought that the church of England was irreverent for allowing everyone to worship in the same way. They were revered because they were open about their beliefs, and they influenced Father William Joseph Chaminade. (Source: Wikipedia)

The Pilgrims didn't settle in New England because they wanted to, but because they saw that it was land. They simply wanted to settle where there was no ruler and wanted to end their long journey. They were trying to get to Virginia but got lost.

The Pilgrims left Plymouth, England, for America on the Mayflower on September 16, 1620.

They considered themselves non-Separatists

The plain style and typology

The belief that people should work hard and live in strong and stable families.

Roger Williams was kicked out of Massachusetts for spreading "new and dangerous rumors".

The White Russians - orthodox Jews - fled Russia to America

They landed on Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts. They landed there in 1620. Actually more correctly they just landed in Mass. Plymouth Rock was the stone they engraved the year on. They actually didn't land on an inland rock.

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.
