Why Did the Puritans Leave England for America? (Video)

Now known as the Pilgrims, the departure of the Puritans from England was spurred by a confluence of religious, political, and social factors during the early 17th century. Emerging from the *********** Reformation, which challenged the authority of the ********* *******, the Puritans sought to purify the ******* of England from residual ********* practices. Their dissatisfaction stemmed from the sluggish pace of reformation within the *******, which retained many ********* rituals and doctrines despite severing ties with Rome.

Queen Elizabeth I’s cautious approach to religious reforms, balancing between ********* and *********** interests, provided limited space for the Puritans to express their reformist zeal. King James I’s reign saw further tensions, as his clashes with the Puritans over issues like priestly vestments and Calvinist doctrine exacerbated their discontent.

The situation worsened under King Charles I, whose overt Catholicism prompted many Puritans to seek sanctuary in the Americas. Motivated by a fervent ******* for religious freedom and the opportunity to establish communities based on their ideals, Puritans embarked on perilous voyages on ships like the Mayflower, founding colonies like Plymouth and the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

Driven by a fervent ******* for religious purity and autonomy, the Puritans left England to forge a new existence in the New World, where they could practice their ****** without interference. Their migration peaked during the early 17th century, marking a significant chapter in both English and ********* history.
