Puritans vs. Pilgrims Settled in Massachusetts Bay. Arrived in 1630. Problems with Native Americans. Seized Native Americans’ lands. Purified the Church from within. Witchcraft accusations. Settled in Plymouth. Arrived 1620. Friendly with Native Americans. Paid Native Americans for land. Separated from the Church. No witchcraft accusations.

Time Period Puritanism began in the latter part of the sixteenth century in England. Puritanism came to North America with the Puritans and Pilgrims. This remained in New England through the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. “Puritanism.” MSN Encarta. 29 Sept. 2009 <http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761565242/Puritanism.html>.

Why “Puritan”? These people are called Puritans because they wanted to purify the Church of England. They wanted a simpler form of worship. No crucifixes, status, or stained-glass windows that were popular in the Catholic Church. “Unit 1 Puritan Notes.” Anderson School District One. 29 Sept. 2009 <http://asd1.schoolwires.com>.

Puritans’ Religion Religion was a personal, inner experience. They believed that they didn’t need a “middle man” to commune with God. The Puritans were persecuted for their beliefs in England, so they came to “The New World.” “Unit 1 Puritan Notes.” Anderson School District One. 29 Sept. 2009 <http://asd1.schoolwires.com>.

Puritans’ Religion, continued The Puritans believed every human was a sinner because of “the fall.” They also believed in predestination. Predestination: Whether you go to Heaven or hell has been planned by God before you existed. Elect: Those chosen few who would go to Heaven. Only a small few would be elect. There was no way to tell whether or not you were elect. “Unit 1 Puritan Notes.” Anderson School District One. 29 Sept. 2009 <http://asd1.schoolwires.com>.

Puritans’ Religion, continued Puritans wanted to appear that they were elect. Therefore, they would act like the elect: Behaving in a saintly way. Hard work and good deeds. However, doing these things would not make a Puritan elect. The elect would behave like this. Turning the community against someone else. “Unit 1 Puritan Notes.” Anderson School District One. 29 Sept. 2009 <http://asd1.schoolwires.com>.

Puritan Writing Puritan Plain Style Short words Direct statements References to everyday objects The American Experience. Upper Saddle River, NJ: Pearson, 2010.

Puritan Writing, continued The Bible The Puritans took the Bible literally. They saw a direct connection between biblical events and their own lives. The Puritans used their writing to examine their inner and outer lives for Godly signs. “Unit 1 Puritan Notes.” Anderson School District One. 29 Sept. 2009 <http://asd1.schoolwires.com>.
