Puritans

by tanding with the Elane

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

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.

I believe the pilgrims and puritans lived in and around Boston and Salem Mass

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.

hope this helps

the answer is John winthrop.

A Frenchman with this last name (6 letters, ends in "n") inspired by the Puritans.

D. All of the above.

(anwser-D.)

The reason a "Puritan" was called a puritan is that they felt that the Anglican church didn't practice a pure religion. They wanted the inside of the church to be bare of decoration and the services to be very basic according to the bible.

The Puritans ended up in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

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 met the indians and the indians showed them what they knew

"They" define truth as not speaking things that are not true and not doings things that make people think a false premise.

Truth is defined in a number of ways; something based on the actual fact of the matter, conformity to reality, a verified and indisputable fact, the state of being true, an obvious accepted fact, ideal or fundamental reality, fidelity or constancy.

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.

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 or you can say that they disagreed with the religious teachings of the Church of England. They wanted to reform the Church of England and remove the Roman Catholicism traces from the church.

Yes they wanted to go to the New World in hopes of keeping Catholocism pure. It wasn't new, in England at the time churches were being more leanient and Protestant and other churches were forming, the Puritans went to America to maintain the old and original pure, and according to them completely perfect religion & society.

Well it wasn't a state back then, but Massachusetts Bay Colony, now of course the state of Massachusetts.

The Puritans had sought to reform the Anglican Church. They believed that the Church of England had not gone far enough in separating itself from Roman Catholicism, and believed the church still pushed forward a lot of catholic based doctrine.
