Puritan movements
Puritan belied government should enforce more
They believed that it would cast punishment on all
Where also upset that the church welcomed most people
Thought it should be more difficult that to be a member of the church
Only certain people should be allowed into the church
The government gets annoyed and that its crazy to try and accosted those
The more radical break away and have their own worship services
Part of there religious believes they kept running it not political issues
James 1 try’s to rid the puritans by sending them off
Puritan settlement at Plymouth colony
There is a group of most radical know as separatist
Theses are the ones they must break away from the church and create a new one
And say they are the evil
They will be punished banned and persecuted by James the first
Some puritans including separatists becomes so upset they leave England and go to the Netherlands
They try to set up their perfect society
They choose this because more so then England their was more religious freedom in Netherlands
Netherlands leaders thought it was bad to try and control peoples religious beliefs
Pertains religiosity freedom wasn’t really what they where after
Part of their belivfswhere to force them around them
They get frustrated and get hostile to the Dutch religious
This brings frustrations
The government gets sick of them

Most get sick
The ship goes off route and miss virgian by the north
There is no settlement there so they just set up their one area
The established Massachusetts where they called Plymouth
Things start to fall apart they arrive to late to grow enough food
Half the ones died
The native Americans in the area helped the starting pilgrims
The Puritan and the native Americans celebrate the first harvest = thanks give is born
Puritan society develops
The Puritan set up a government that’s they agreed on the ship earlier called the mayflower compact
The mayflower government wasn’t to sanctioned by the crown
This could have been bad but the king had bigger issue
The puritans are left alone
By the time the crown can think about it they have grown big enough to where its hard to remove
Pertains will abstain a chapter particles due to the civil war
They wher e able to take advantage of the drama back home
Things not relatives to them kept the crown to not think about the colognes
Masacuseests and new Hamptur
The towns of Salem and bost where established
The bay colony
About 21,000 came over
Things went well after thanks giving
Things went well like life expedency

Religious freedom vs religious purity
Puritan camper to new ggnald seeking to get freedom but not freedom in the modern sense but to give authority in the religious purity

Confermined historicsl example sea captain voyage finally get to see his wife
He kisses his wife on his own porch
The man was put in jail for kissing his wife on Sunday

Four of them where exacted in 1659 and 1661
Ran to escape the religious government but then made one the forced religious society
Eventually they put them to death over difference in interpretation
Quaker’s be lie no one should have a religious higher archy
The development of New England
From the bay colony server letter let’s move to surrounding places
They aren’t hard core enough or they are to harsh
Because of the land and the limit in New England is not as suited to large scale agriculture than in the south
There is no demand to bring in slaves
If the family’s are good and
Husbands requeierd submission buy wife’s and kids
Kids are supposed ot be 100 percents obedient and if the guy where they could be put to death by the father
Instead of a big organization these churches ever governing themselves
Giving them more control over local families
A little closer to democracy
Because most people wher property owns this enable they to develop a more democratic style gornemvent then in England and Virginia
Democracy doesn’t mean freedom it just mend wider disturbustion involved in the government
Religious divide grows
There were religious disagreement causing a new colony that was slight y diffrent religious beliefs
Whitchcrft trials
Salem
Women’s and fee men begins accused of witchcraft
Shame wtich trials
They were convencied they where pressed by or an instrument of the devil
People in the way
With lll the difference the most common was in order to grow communicate they had to take land by other
3 ways
Buying land
Moving in after natives where willed out by epadimic (was belived to be a gift by god)
Simply starting wars with the plan to take land after war
Metacoms war
Certain colonies become done with the tactics being used against them
1675 there was a war beased on the realization on this method
Ended in in 600 colonists and a few thousand natives
Results in colonial resizes and a quicker exploit on in natives
Quakers and the establishment of Pennsylvania
They called themselves the society of friends
Unorthodox- a rare version that not many would follow
They ignored social class they treated women in church
They belived natives had right to land
They refused to fight in a war under any circumstances
Most new Englanders mocked them
Pennsyl was the home land
From mostly independent colonies to an empire
From the stat to 1660 they where able to rule themselves and trade how ever they wanted
They navigational acts strengthen And designed to insure the colonies where inriching engald and not letting others gain anything
Your man concer is your livly hood
They wanted to do it by their own interest
Anger back in England leafed to the glorious revolution in 1688
Matter to the colonies the transition loses the enforcement of the navigation acts
Busisineess grown due to navigation acts being not enforced
A lot of removing the governes that England out in pppalce A lot of optimism in the colonies
Expectations are better brighter further in the colonists
But England needs revenue
The old navigation acts where being enforced means less money y to England making the y losing more money then they where making
1696 there is an effortt to better prosecute to people not following the navigation acts
Part of the efforts involved vice-admiralty courts
Stopped jury
This strengthen the enforcement
Creates resentment and rebellion
Those who aren’t breaking it but they feel their rights are being thr by the actions of others
End of th e1600s the English h government expanse the efforts the gain more control over colonies
Parliament pass additions navigation acts
The board of trade
At the same time colonies Will retain the way politics is done
They have their own electives
They don’t overtake the local government
Widening difference between the colonies and Great Britain
England becomes part of Great Britain in 1707
In early 1700 several colonies are transitioned over to royal government
Therre is a congress but on top of that is a royal governer
Has power to veto or cancel if the congress comes u with a law they dont agree with
Locals asybles still had the power to tax their own people and not the royal government
Living in England is diffrent the n living in the colonies
Colonies had more experience and colonies belived their lives wher better because of it
British parloment back in Britain belived since thery protected and that they where subjects to the crown the colonies owed their loyalty to the crown
Due to the diffrent ways the colonies and the biritish government at looking at the problem the colonies and the British government had several problems
