Who were the Puritans?
Puritans were English Protestants in the 16th-17thc centuries. They were nonconformists who were refusing the authority of the outside world. They wanted a simpler church ritual called Calvinism. It was essentially an activist movement in England. They gathered together to create a more pure system in English religion.
Puritans remained powerful until about 1640, while only having started their movement in 1559. The movement had almost completely died out by 1660, although their values still hold some weight in the United States.
The Puritans believed in many principles, so that they might try to keep a close, unified community. The Puritans believed that the Bible was the true law of God. They took away all the traditions of Christianity and attempted to “purify” themselves and their church. Religious exclusiveness was a principle they believed in. They expected everyone who lived in their community to hold God at the front of their mind at all times, so that he may motivate their actions. They also believed God could forgive anything, but a man could only forgive once they see a change in behavior. A major principle that they believed in was that there was no room for error.

During the 1500s, the Protestant Reformation spread across Europe. Leaders of the reformation preached an anti-church doctrine, favoring a more individualistic, spiritual approach to religion. In the early 1600s, a similar movement began to spread in England, against the Anglican Church. This movement gave rise to the Puritan branch of Christianity. The Puritans moved to cleanse the ritual formalities of the church. The Puritans met great opposition in England, and many of them fled to America, particularly to the New England area, to escape religious persecution. Puritans continued to immigrate to the New World throughout the 1600s, and by the 1700s, there were 106,000 Puritans in New England.
Thought to be most strict form of law and religion A man cannot kiss his wife in public Towns with 50 families must employ a teacher to teach the kids how to read and write and a town with 100 people must maintain a grammar school A man would be fined, imprisoned, or whipped if he did not attend church If a man spoke about religion or the bible in a non-believing or negative way he would be faced with an even harsher sentence
What lasting effects have the Puritans had on the US?
Large scale Puritan emigration after 1630 made them some of the earliest settlers of North America.They planted the ideas of liberty and freedom helped shape the modern United State. Also, they created an English and Christian base in the Americas which remain strong today. Finally, their most memorable contribution was Thanksgiving, which began as a day of introspection and prayer, but has since become a day of feasting and celebration.
William Bradford became a Puritan at age 12 and joined the congregation who wanted to separate from the church. That belief got them exiled to the Netherlands, where they lived for 12 years. When English ally King James began harassing them, the Puritans decided to move to the new colonies in North America, and rode over on the Mayflower. Bradford took on most of the responsibilities of the colony, and re-wrote the Mayflower compact, which provided strict and specific requirements for self-government. He became the unofficial leader, and strongly enforced Puritan beliefs.
Roger Williams was a Puritan who lived in Massachusetts. He was expelled from the church after voicing his opinion that Native Americans should not be forced off their land, and that other religions should be tolerated and respected. His most controversial idea was that an individual person can know if they’ve been saved, but nobody else can tell them that. After being ordered back to England, he went off on his own course and lived for three months with Native Americans. He then moved to Rhode Island, where he governed a colony.
Do the Puritans Exist Today? If Not, When and How Did it End? Migration of Puritans to New England began around 1630 and dramatically slowed around 1641. In 1664, England amped up law enforcement in the area due to cruel and unusual punishments and unlawful execution, and the Puritan settlements began to decline. Modern descendants of the Puritans are often members of the so-called “religious right” and in various extremist sects.

The puritan dress code was centered on simplicity. Members were not allowed to wear lace. They also were not allowed to have slashes in their clothes, with the exception of one on the sleeves and one on the back. Women were required to wear a certain length of sleeves. Men were required to shave short hair. They would show off some through clothing, but they did keep it modest.

The relationship between the Puritans and the Native Americans was that the purtians took land from the Native Americans and treated them poorly.
