Puritans

The Puritans viewed society as full of sinners unworthy of God's love. They believed it was necessary to try to be as righteous as possible, so that God might save you from eternal damnation. They viewed society harshly, and believed they should be punished, rather than counseled, if they fell short of moral expectations.

In 1629, Charles I dismissed Parliament and sanctioned the anti-Puritan persecutions of William Laud, an archbishop.

the irony behind the puritans intolerance stems from the fact that they left their country and sailed to America to escape intolerance of their religious beliefs. But when they get to America they persecute others just as they had been persecuted. So they're hypocrites....

the puritans left because they believed divorce was incorrect according to god so they moved away to have religious freedom of speech. and to do things the way the thought was the right way of acting.

they were mostly leaders

Puritanism is a mix of English Protestantism and Calvinism. When May Tutor became Queen of England, she didn’t tolerate protestants and forced everyone to become catholic again. Some converted back, some went into hiding, others were burned at the stack, and the rest were exiled. They were called the Marian Exiles. After leaving England, the exiled protestants learned the ideas of John Calvin and adopted them. When Elizabeth Tutor became Queen, the protestants felt it was safe to come back to England and they brought the Calvinist ideas with them. Once in England, they shared the new ideas and formed Puritanism. Main ideas of Puritanism is the belief of Predestination and the idea that anything (when it comes to religion and religious ceremonies) not written in the bible isn’t true. So they don’t believe in Purgatory, Limbo, sainthood, celibacy, or “the Beauty of Holiness.” They also felt is was important for everyone to be literate and educated.

There are many stories about Native Americans who liked pioneers-- and far more about the strife that existed among these peoples. Sacagawea,

for example, was a Native American woman who was extraordinarily instrumental in helping Lewis and Clark survey the Louisiana Territory (Louisiana Purchase). A fundamental source of friction between the Native American population and the pioneers stemmed from the pioneers' notion that the land that had been occupied and used by Native Americans was available for the taking. This seemed reasonable to the pioneers because they came from a culture that viewed land as personal property, but the NAtive

Americans did not share this perspective. Anyone might be inclined to dislike others who were taking something to which they had no inherent right.

Reform the Anglican Church

The Puritans and Quakers both held onto their religions very strongly and wanted to follow God in their own ways. They also both came to be because they didn't want to conform to the Church of England. So, even though the Quakers and Puritans were very different and persecuted each other for their beliefs, they were alike in some ways.

Yes; most would argue very much so. The word "Christian" can have a number of meanings, but it boils downed to this: Puritans believed in and adhered to the teachings of Jesus Christ. (The Bible)

If they obeyed the terms of salvation given by Jesus, they are saved and therefore "Christian". If you are asking whether they are saved or not, only God knows. However, it assumed that Puritans were not only Christian, but believed in very "strict" adherence to the Bible's teachings.

The puritans came to New England to be able to practice their religion freely and escape religious persecution.

Because god was their only king. They were self-righteous, non-conformists with a hoier than thou attitude. They wanted to stay separate so they (especially their children) wouldn't become infected by the rest of the heathen population.

A doctrine is a set of beliefs held by a church. The Puritans beliefs included that man existed for the glory of God and that man's first concern was doing God's will. They looked for corporate and individual conformity of the Bible and its teachings as well as moral purity.

A form of church membership among the Congregational churches of New England allowed by decisions in 1657 and 1662 and permitting baptized persons of moral life and orthodox faith to enjoy privileges of full membership except the partaking of the Lord's Supper. It was promoted in particular by the Reverend Solomon Stoddard, who felt that the people of the English colonies were drifting away from their original religious purpose.

Well, simply put, A Puritan use to be part of a Catholic Church but had different opinions and wanted a reformation. Some stayed and reformed the church from within. Others, Independents, Separatists, wanted to start a new one by themselves! They are much close or if not is, a pilgrim. As pilgrims are just people that travel due to religious causes. Puritans also try to find a strict, theocracy community. One of such would be Salem, where hysteria and paranoia on witchcraft was then taken greatly. Puritans believe either that you are with God or against God (aka. with the Devil). Those who help the devil, and perform spells and charms are witches. It wasn't really invented but it was something that the Puritans felt strong against. As due to the 19 death via accusing of witchcraft by August 1692, it was mainly due to random accusations. Witchcraft can show no witness, you can be attacked by a ghost sent by a person, and the only thing you can do is, accuse him/her. As of such, it's even harder to prove your innocence, since even if you were elsewhere, you would've send a spirit instead of your physical body.

Helped erase the earlier Puritan distinction between the converted elect and other members of society?

They believed that they should pruify the church of England

No they were most definitely not Catholic, the Puritans found the Church of England (which was and is a protestant Church) to be "too Popish" (too Catholic) for their taste, so they left England and started their own nation, which eventually became the United States.

That they were freedom-loving and tolerant. In fact, they were austere, closed-minded, and rigid.

no anglicans first too similar like puritains so puritans start new branch so puritains protestent
