What did the puritans try to do to the church?
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. They believed there was too much influence of the Catholic Church within the Anglican Church, thus the name, Puritans.

"In 1630, Winthrop arrived at Massachusetts Bay with
2,000 colonists. By the 1640s, more than 16,000 people
had followed the first Massachusetts settlers. In effect,
the population was dense enough to establish a functional
farming economy as well as town governments and
courts that could provide civil order under law."
What was a driving force in puritan settlements?
The Puritan Protestants who came to the colonies were rebelling against the Church of England to establish their own Congregational churches most of them reverted to the medieval model. They wanted but one "church" (theirs) to exist in each colony, which became the "state." This existence meant "establishment" a term referring to the fact that financial, legal, and honorific privileges were extended to that one church and all others were seen as dissenters, tolerated at best and persecuted at worse. Nine of the 13 colonies had an establishment. The founders of Rhode Island were the exceptions.

How were the puritans persecuted?
The persecution of the puritans in England can be divided into two categories. Persecution that was established by law and extra-legal persecution. The legal persecution was instituted via a set of laws know as the Clarendon Codes. The extra-legal persecution was the garden variety violence which can be seen when a minority group is marginalized by the government and they loose legal protection. The extra-legal persecution involved murder, rape, robbery, and arson of homes. The legal persecution of the puritans by the Britons as codified by the Clarendon Codes involved a number of rules specific only to non-Anglicans. Puritans were ordered to only use Anglican prayer books, they were forbidden to gather in groups larger than 5 persons, they were forbidden to hold any public office or be employed by the government, and any known Puritan minister was forbidden to come within 5 miles of any town or settlement.
This persecution was the impetus for a diaspora that spread Puritans to the continent, especially the Netherlands and ultimately to North America.
Why did the puritans leave europe?

How did the Puritans justify their invasion of Native Americans' lands?
HOW THE PURITANS JUSTIFY THEIR INVASION.... I CAN NOT SAY.
ALTHOUGH FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE PEOPLE OF THE LAND I MIGHT BE ABLE TO ANSWER.
BETWEEN THE BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF THE TRIBES OF THE LAND THERE WAS OFTEN, MUCH CONFLICT AND WITH THE CONFLICT CAME BLOOD REVENGE, TAKE BLOOD, GIVE BLOOD, ESCALATING MORE AN MORE CONFLICT, EGOTISM AND HEROISM.
THEN AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME TWO BROTHERS FROM DIFFERENT TRIBES, SAD BY THE WARRING AMONGST THEM, AFTER SOME TIME CAME TOGETHER AND HELPED, OVER TIME TO BRING THE TRIBES TOGETHER. IN CEREMONY, THE WEAPONS WERE BURIED AND A TREE OF PEACE WAS PLANTED OVER THEM.
THE COMING TOGETHER BETWEEN BROTHER AND SISTER, WITH MOTHER EARTH AND FATHER SKY, BROUGHT A NEW PEACE INTO THE EARTH. TO THE PEOPLE, THE LAND REACHED TO SEAS AND THE SEAS REACHED TO THE SKY AND THIS WAS THE LAND AND TO THEM THE LAND WAS TURTLE ISLAND, FOR IT REPRESENTED IN SHAPE AND SYMBOLISM THE SHELL OF THE TURTLE.
THERE WAS AN UNDERSTANDING, THAT ALL WAS NOT AT REST, SO IN CEREMONY THAT WHICH WAS IN CONFLICT WAS CALLED, TO HEAL IT, TO TEACH IT ABOUT THE EARTH AND TO MAKE IT WHOLE. THIS WAS THE TIME THAT THOSE OF THE LANDS OF EUROPE FELT THIS CALLING AND STARTED TO BUILD THEIR SHIPS AND MAKE THEIR WAY OVER THE SEAS TO THE LANDS OF TURTLE ISLAND TO WHICH THEY HAD BEEN CALLED.
MUCH CONFLICT CAME AND THE PEOPLE OF EUROPE TOOK THE LAND OF NATIVE PEOPLE AND SO FORMED THERE OWN WAY AND CONTINUED TO SOME EXTENT THE MADNESS FROM WHICH THEY CAME, OVER TIME IT SEEMED THEY HAD BECOME CIVILIZED AND GROWN AND SOME OF THEM DID, YET TO THIS DAY THEY TAKE THERE MADNESS AND INVADE THE LAND OF PEOPLE IN SOME FORM OF TRICKERY OR THE OTHER, WITH FLAGS AND BADGES AND PIECES OF PAPER AND TELEVISION AND FILM AND GREED THEY TOLD THE WORLD THAT ALL THE ARE DOING IS FOR FREEDOM AND THE EVOLUTION OF MAN....
THEN CAME A DAY THAT THEIR LEADERS BROKE DOWN THERE OWN HOME AND TRIED TO TAKE THE FREEDOM FROM THEIR OWN PEOPLE WITH LIES AND DECEPTION. MANY PEOPLE FROM MANY LANDS SAW THROUGH THEIR LIES AND THOSE OF THEIR LEADERS AND CALLED FOR MORE TRUTH TO COME AND SO THERE DECEPTION STARTED TO CRUMBLE AND TO FALL. MANY PEOPLE LOST THEIR CASTLES AND THEIR CARRIAGES AND THEIR PICTURE BOXES AND THEIR DECEPTION AND THEIR LIES, THAT HAD BEEN BUILT AROUND THEM AND SO ALSO IT STARTED TO HAPPEN TO THEIR BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND FATHERS AND SONS OF THE LANDS THEY HAD COME FROM. SO THEY RETURNED TO THE LAND TO THE EARTH AND ARE STARTING TO LEARN WHAT IT IS THAT THE NATIVE PEOPLE CALLED TO TEACH THEM, TO HEAL THEM AND TO MAKE THEM WHOLE.
SO PERHAPS NOW THOSE IN THE LAND MAY FIND A WAY WITH THE LAND TO LIVE UPON IT WITH THE RESPECT AND CARING AND UNDERSTANDING AND LOVE THAT IT WAS ALL MADE FOR MAYBE THEN THEIR LEADERS SHALL GIVE THEM A WIGWAM AND GIVE THEM TRUTH AND THE NEW WAY OF EARTH, MAYBE WE SHALL MAKE IT FOR OURSELVES AND BE THE LEADERSHIP THAT WORKS WITH TRUTH AND WITH LOVE, FOR WE HAVE LEARNT MANY THINGS IN THE CHAPTERS WE CALL OUR LIVES. IT IS OUR EXISTENCE IT IS OUR BEING
How did puritans deal with dissent?
You should clarify when and where. Remember that they moved to what is now the United States to "escape persecution" in Europe, only to persecute others once they arrived in the "new world." So do you mean in the early 1600s when they arrived in the "new world" or do you mean in the late 1500s when they were just being bat-sh*t crazy in Europe?
William Penn was more respectful of the Native Americans in some ways.
When and where did the puritans live?

How did the goals of the Jamestown colonist differ from those of puritan colonists in Massachusetts?
The Jamestown colonies were founded for the sole purpose of mirroring the success that the Spanish have seen from such explorers as Christopher Columbus and Hernan Cortes. Their motives were purely to gain profit.
The Massachusetts Bay Colony was never interested in money. Their goal was to create a religious Utopia that would shine back on the old Catholic church in England and show them that their take on religion is correct after all. John Winthrop's "Model of christian charity" states their exact mission. This full heartily explains why the puritans are so strict. They will not allow anyone to jeopardize the mission because it will ruin the colony's Utopia appearance.

Why were the puritans unhappy with the church of England?

Their desire for independence, religious freedom and self government.
The Puritans did organize their New England towns and villages according to the religious beliefs. They were arranged this way because the Church of England was as a result of the political struggles.
"They" define truth as not speaking things that are not true and not doings things that make people think a false premise.

Why did the Puritans immigrate to North America?
By settling in the New World the Puritans were hoping to give an example to the corrupt that they believed was taking place in New England. They're hopes were to create a model society or "a city upon a hill" as John Winthrop put it. Though they worked hard and made a half decent life in the New World the thing they failed at was grabbing the attention of New England in the first place.
