-Puritan’s decided to sail to the new world to establish their own government.
-They believed that they would be better off free to worship on their own.

3. Puritan Critiques on the church of England
-Puritans believed the Church to not have been sufficiently reformed.
-Priests were unqualified and immune to certain laws.
-Eventually some congregations went as far as to separate from the Church of England, they were called separatists.

4. How the Puritans Traveled to the New World
Sailed across on the Mayflower- a three-masted merchant ship
Around 100 men & women, many of them members from the English Separatist Church
Rough seas & storms prevented ship from reaching initial destination

5. How the Puritans Traveled to the New World
After 66 days, the Mayflower reached Cape Cod
Anchored in Plymouth Rock, on December 16th, 1620 where they would form the 1st permanent European settlement in New England
Explorer John Smith named the area Plymouth and settlers decided it was appropriate since the Mayflower left from the port of Plymouth in England

6. Plymouth Colony Founded during King James I’s rule
Located on the shores of Cape Cod, which is where Massachusetts is today
The settlers were Separatist Church members
The Mayflower ship laid down anchor at Plymouth Rock.
They were the first to get along with the natives in the area.

7. Life of Puritans Branched off of the English Reformation
Originated in the sixteenth century
Vitalized by King Henry VIII when he turned the Church of Rome into a Church of England
Priests were usually poor and uneducated
Usually viewed as too prude, even by other religious movements

8. The Mayflower Compact
The puritans needed a renewal of the agreement with King James Ⅰ they wanted to stay where they landed rather than going north.
The Mayflower Compact was the first governing document of the Plymouth colony.
It was their attempt to establish a functional government within their new colony.
The authors of the Compact knew about the Jamestown settlement and did not want their setup to follow the same fate, so they agreed to be bound by the rules in the compact as to create a sort of constitution (as many scholars and historians like to call it).

9. Puritans
England was a Roman Catholic nation Until 1534, when King Henry VIII created a new national church called the Church of England.
Some people felt that the new church had too many practices similar to the Roman Catholic church. They wanted to return to their old ways, worshipping the way that the early christians did .
Since these people wanted to “purify” the church, they became known as the “Puritans.”
They came from Europe to escape prosecution and practice religious freedom.

10. Pilgrims
Pilgrims are “people who journey to a sacred place for religious reasons.”
Those who didn’t want to purify the church, weren’t happy with it at all and therefore wanted to separate from the it completely (separatists)
Founded plymouth colony in massachusetts.
Wanted to leave Holland to establish a farming village in the Northern part of the virginia colony
They were sailing for the northern part of the virginia colony (right around new york at this time) but instead they landed at cape cod
