Puritans vs. Pilgrims

Pilgrims (reform church) Separatist group who left England in the early 1600s to escape persecution.

Puritans (separate from church) Protestant group who wanted to purify, or reform the Anglican Church. They were blocked from changing the system of the church within England, so they preached in other countries (Netherlands, Ireland, Whales). They came to New England in 1620s as a part of the Great Migration.

Church vs. State in Massachusetts colonies

The Puritans set up the general court, an attempt at self-government. Each town had a general court. Politics and religion were closely linked. Government leaders were also church members and had a lot of power. Individuals had to pass a public test to prove their faithfulness and become “God’s elect” before they were allowed to vote or hold a public office.
