Puritans vs. Pilgrims
Pilgrims (reform church)
Separatist group who left England in the early 1600s to escape
persecution. They went to the calm and tolerant Netherlands in 1608.
They were worried about losing their cultural identity in Netherlands, so
they made an arrangement with English investors to establish a new
colony in North America (2nd successful English settlement—Plymouth,
Massachusetts.)
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.
Women in England vs. Women
in New England (rights)
Women in England had few
rights—they could not allowed to
make contracts, sue or own
property.
Women in NEW England—more
rights, took part in business,
made contracts, could sue and
widows could own property.
Higher education vs. Public
Education
Higher education- colleges
formed to educate ministers
(Harvard created in 1636)
Public education- required in
Massachusetts for every
township of 50 families.
Children learned to read the
Bible.
Native Americans in New
England vs. Native Americans in
Virginia
Natives attacked colonists less
in New England than they did in
Virginia. Indians like Squanto
and Samoset helped colonists in
New England plant crops like
corn.
Great Migration
1620s-1640s: The movement of English
settlers to the Americas (primarily Puritans to
Massachusetts). They came in family groups
to escape religious persecution. It was called
the Great Migration because the people that
moved were not just male, but well-educated
families moved. This lead to prosperous lives
and a large increase in birthrate.
Anne Hutchinson left
Massachusetts
Hutchinson was a Puritan leader who
angered other Puritans by claiming that
people’s relationship with God did not
need guidance from ministers. She was
banished from Massachusetts Bay
Colony and she later established
Portsmouth in Rhode Island.
Thomas Hooker was called the
“Father of American Democracy”
Hooker was a preacher who disagreed with
many political issues in Massachusetts (mainly
voting).
He took some of his followers from MA and
established Connecticut Colony.
He wrote the Fundamental Orders of
Connecticut, which was their constitution. It
was more democratic than the laws in
Massachusetts and our modern government is
modeled after his ideas.
New England colonies had more
success in the beginning than the
Southern Colonies
They brought families with them instead of
just men.
The climate was better and fewer people got
sick.
They were educated.
They had less resistance from natives.
Roger Williams left
Massachusetts
Williams was an English Protestant minister
who was an advocate for religious freedom
and the separation of church and state.
The Massachusetts court declared that he was
spreading “diverse, new, and dangerous
opinions” and banished him from the colony.
In 1636, he started the colony of Providence
Plantation, refuge for religious minorities;
started first Baptist Church.
Signed the Mayflower Compact
