Puritans

In the early 17th century, thousands of English Puritans settled in North America, mainly in New England. One Separatist group, the Pilgrims, established the Plymouth Colony in 1620. Non-separating Puritans played leading roles in establishing the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1629 and the Connecticut Colony in 1636. The Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations was established by settlers expelled from the Massachusetts Bay Colony because of their unorthodox religious opinions. Puritans were also active in the New Hampshire before it became a crown colony in 1691.

They attended church AT LEAST twice a week.

The Puritans sailed from England to America on the Mayflower, and landed on Cape Cod in November of 1620. Many of them died within several months of landing, but the survivors soon established colonies, including Plymouth, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Maine, Rhode Island, and New Haven.

The dogged determination, admirable work effort, and steadfast persistence of the Puritans formed the basis for many of our attitudes today. It fostered the development of the entrepreneurial spirit, the accumulation of wealth through investment, and the development of capitalism.

The Pilgrims and Puritans were both religious Protestants who had strong disagreements with the Anglican Church (aka the Church of England). The Pilgrims broke from the Anglican Church while the Puritans tried to purify it.

Answer:

Pilgrims were separatists, followers of the teachings of John Calvin, who believed that human nature was inherently depraved, and all bore the guilt of Adam and Eve. Pilgrims wanted to separate themselves from the Church of England. They also wanted to separate themselves from those who were not believers, the damned. Pilgrims believed they were elected by God for salvation and they wanted to worship only with other "saints" who had also been saved by God. They sought to establish a colony in America to achieve these aims.

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 worshiping without much interference. Puritans settled Massachusetts in 1630

Answer:

Pilgrims were anyone who came to America. Puritans were a specific religious group. So, all Puritans were Pilgrims, but not all Pilgrims were Puritans.

It depends on which civil war you're talking about. In 1455-1485, the House of Lancaster and the House of York fought in the Wars of the Roses. The victor was Henry Tudor (of Lancaster), who married Elizabeth of York, thus uniting the warring houses into one House of Tudor (which ruled for 117 years).

In 1642-1651, it was the Parliamentarians (nicknamed "Roundheads") and the Royalists (nicknamed "Cavaliers") who fought. Oliver Cromwell led the New Model Army to victory. In the end, Charles I was executed, and a Puritan society was formed under Cromwell. Cromwell established a commonwealth (or a republic), which was later abolished when the English people called for Charles II to return to England and rule, in an event known as the "Restoration".

By law the puritans had to attend church. The sermons the puritans attended taught the "New England Way". This stressed the puritans beliefs in hard work to make the colony grow and become successful

Over the centuries, persecution of the Puritans had a lot of different effects. For one, it was largely responsible for the colonists traveling to the Americas, and played a large part in the founding of the United States of America!

because it is the best colony ever and there are no laws or rules and you don't have to go to school.

This movement was known as the Puritan migration.

Im not really sure but im pretty sure that the religion was very simple and mostly Christianity was used

Anne Hutchinson.

The Puritans were from England. They believed that the Church of England was too much like the Catholic Church. They settled in what became Massachusetts and revived what they believed was the proper form of Anglican Protestantism.

this just shows how bad these answers can be wrong because i have no idea what the answer is! (:

The ship that left England for the Americas in 1620 was called the Mayflower. The Mayflower Brought The Pilgrims To America From England. they landed in new England

The real reason is fear that he was Catholic; Britain was very anti-Catholic at the time. Although I'm sure at the time there was fancy talk that the King had to be overthrown because he had too much power (which he did) and even today if you research the civil war many accounts will say it was based on the King having too much power and will totally overlook the religious issue. The truth though is that after they killed Charles I they gave all his power and then some to Cromwell so if it was really based on power they were idiots. Ofcourse there were people who supported Cromwell simply because they hated the idea of monarchy (same as today) again idiots, because Cromwell's plan was that his son would "rule" after him, therefore making just another monarchy. Kind of like when they abolished the Romanov's in Russia in the name of freedom only to replace it with a far greater evil. Europe can't seem to get abolishing monarchies right, everytime they do it it results in atleast 3 decades of tyrants and civiul unrest, Hitler, Stalin, French reign of terror, etc.

Life wasn't at all fair. You were taught not to show any emotions and were beated alot. If you went a day without getting hit, then you were concitered spoiled...........and yes , this is total poppycock.

Puritans ate alot of things.Maple sugar was the main sweetener because the taste. they would have fresh or salted fish, roasted meats and extremly hot stew of "colly flower", carrots, and peas,washed down with wine or ale. to finish, their might be syllabub, a custard of cream and wine,expensive sugared almonds.

There is a popular misconception that the Pilgrim Fathers started their historic journey from Plymouth in England.

Well they didn't - they set off in search of religious freedom from the Immingham docks in Lincolnshire England.

Here in Immingham you will find in pilgrims park near saint Andrew's church the actual memorial that commemorates the occasion.

due to the bad weather when they left Immingham's dock the women and children of the ship took shelter at the church. here they were later arrested (for rebelling against taxation and religion by leaving) and the ship had to set sail without them.

However due to the uproar from the town the children were released and were aloud to travel and reunite with their fathers. They settled in Holland for a while, which they intended, but then left for America here the pilgrim fathers created a place of religious freedom and no corruption.

the memorial reads

"From this creek the Pilgrim Fathers first left England in 1608 in search of religious liberty. The granite top stone was taken from Plymouth Rock Mass and presented by the Sulgrave Institution of USA. This memorial was erected by the Anglo-American Society of Hull 1924".

i hope this is helpful to who ever reads it xx

The puritans didnt like the way the how the Church of England was going and they didnt want a king to control them, so the killed the king for trying to take over the puritans

To get a colony started for the others.

they were for the most part calvinist ,they held to close church & state , they drank beer, they desired to apply the OT & NT to their lives not just the NT as the church of england was , they had governing isssues with the english crown , their church government varried between elder system & congergational system

The Puritans left England in order to worship God in the way they believed was right. They founded three colonies in the New England, Plymouth in 1620 and Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630, both located in Massachusetts, and the Connecticut Colony in 1636.

Some people say they came because they wanted religious freedom, but that's not really correct, because they believed their way of worship was the only right way and did not allow people who believed something different to worship as they saw fit. The Puritans settled only in the New England region.

Puritans were christians who had plain churches unlike the catholics that had loads of gold and statues, the basic aim was to let the people follow God and pray to God without focusing on other things.
