Puritan immigrants arrived in New England, during the 1600s, settling and establishing in areas like Massachusetts Bay. In contrast to the Chesapeake region’s settlers, the Puritan settlers did not only come for economic interests, but rather out of aspiration to create a more pure, Christian society based on moral living and emphasis on the family and community. The Puritans had a strong impact on the development of the New England region, based on their religious emphasis and support for a theocratic political structure. By organizing their society based on their want to create a theocracy, the Puritans ensured that their values and ideas had a great impact on the political, economic, and social development of the New England colonies from 1630s through the 1660s. In the political development of New England, the Puritans influenced the region by basing the political structure on a theocratic model that enforced firm moral obedience.
While the Chesapeake people longed for riches, the New Englanders sought religious freedom, particularly from the Church of England. The Church of England was under the rule of Henry VIII. It was a completely different denomination as the Catholic and the Calvinists. The Separatists came to New England in hopes to be able to worship and practice freely and without suppression. As much as these settlers wanted to separate from the Church of England, they still used much of the English ways as far as their economy and many of their stabilizing systems.
These religious reformers, known as Puritans wanted to reform the Church of England from within. Therefore, in 1629, Puritans secured a royal charter to form the Massachusetts Bay Colony. They proposed to establish a settlement in the Massachusetts area, where Boston would become the core of Puritan society. The Puritans didn't want to separate from the Church of England, but rather separate from its impurities. In Rhode Island, people such as Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson challenged the Church of England as well as Puritan beliefs.
Ideas and values held by the Puritans from 1630 to the 1660’s influenced the political, economic, and social development of the New England colonies in many ways. Puritans established the colony and therefore their image was cast upon all 3 divisions of colonial development. Politically, Puritans influenced the New England colonies by controlling the governments of Massachusetts Bay, Plymouth, and Connecticut, as well as other early northern colonies. This control meant that the Puritans only recognized Congregationalism as the official religion. As well as religious control, for most colonies church membership was required in order to vote.
Lilian S At the beginning of the 17th century, a group of people coming from England settled themselves in Massachusetts, North America. The reason of change from one to another country was the disagreement with the Church of England. A member of this group of believers called William Bradford documented the whole travel since they sailed from Southampton in England until the new community settled in Plymouth. William Bradford and his group believed they were a special group of people, chosen by God to start a new land. Therefore they called themselves Pilgrims and Puritans.
Cambridge, 1663. Justification: As with many books published during its time, A Brief Summe, is a question-and-answer formatted reader published for the tow, in this case Hampton.

Maryland became known for its policy of religious toleration for all. THE NEW ENGLAND COLONIES The first English emigrants to what would become the New England colonies were a small group of Puritan separatists, later called the Pilgrims, who arrived in Plymouth in 1620. Ten years later, a wealthy syndicate known as the Massachusetts Bay Company sent a much larger (and more liberal) group of Puritans to establish another Massachusetts settlement. With the help of local natives, the colonists soon got the hang of farming, fishing and hunting, and Massachusetts prospered. As the Massachusetts settlements expanded, they generated new colonies in New England.
A Puritan Justification for Community The provided “Justifications for Undertaking a New Settlement” clearly represents Puritan ideals, both religious and political, in respects to their beliefs of creating an exemplary community for God, where sins are punishable by God. The justification begins with a subtle jeremiad “Our many sins, for which the Lord shows his displeasure with us,” very simply stating that when Puritans sin, the Lord strikes down against them. According to James A. Monroe, in his selection “U.S. : A City upon a Hill,” expressing jeremiads in Puritan culture was one method of maintaining Puritan utopia. The establishment of jeremiads and their implementation appeared to maintain the block between rich and poor, called
