The Puritans settled New England in the early 17th century, seeking to create a community based on their religious beliefs. They emphasized the importance of a pious lifestyle and aimed to establish a "city upon a hill" that would serve as a model of Christian living. Public education was also a priority, leading to the establishment of schools to ensure that children could read The Bible and understand religious teachings. This focus on religion and education shaped the cultural and social fabric of New England.
