The Puritans settled in North America primarily to escape religious persecution in England and to establish a community where they could practice their faith freely. They sought to create a "city upon a hill," a model society based on their strict religious beliefs and values. Additionally, they aimed to reform the Church of England from within, believing that they could create a purer form of Christianity in the New World. Their migration in the early 17th century was driven by a desire for both spiritual and social autonomy.
