Through this project, a rural agricultural society was transformed into an industrial working class.
Many Puritans immigrated to the New World in the 17th century. Once there, they sought to fabricate a Holy Commonwealth in the New England region. Puritanism remained one of the dominant cultural powers in that region until well into the 19th century. The morals and ideals held by Puritans between 1630 and 1670 influenced the social development of the colonies by putting into practice a series of rules, from which our own Founding Fathers would take their inspiration, the political structure of the New England colonies by establishing a need for a local government (set up by the Cambridge Platform), and last but not least, the Puritans influenced the economic well being of the colonies by helping to set the precedent of self reliance (as far as farming), and a minimal dependence on international trade in the New England area (for goods and labor). The social structure of the New England colonies under the Puritans was one of brotherhood, togetherness, community, and even liberality.

So the traders would tell them about the Islāmic way of living with the five pillars and brief details about Islām. Some of the traders like the idea of the one God and their way of life, that way followers got convinced and changed their religion.
