[QUOTE="FireDragon76, post: 77172252, member: 330042"] That's one perspective, but I don't think it explains the reasons they came to the US, nor does it do justice to what Puritanism was actually about. Puritanism was an important religious movement, some Puritans, like Richard Baxter, were basically theological liberals of their day, whereas the establishment in England was mostly interested in a way that religion could be used to benefit the existing social order and privileged hierarchies, Puritans typically came from rural areas of England, such as East Anglia, and did not represent the aristocracy generally. Just keep in mind England didn't have freedom of religion, either, and had capital punishments for heresy as well, during the same time period. [/QUOTE]
