Puritans

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.

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."

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.

The blue Laws

The question was What ocean did the pilgrams cross? And the answer was Atlantic Ocean.

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.

The Puritans left England (old England, that is) for New England in America in order to worship God in the manner they believed was correct.

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
