Puritans and Pilgrims… Who are they? What’s the difference? Why do we have to know this?

Who are they? (The Basics) 1500s: Anglicanism had taken the place of Catholicism in England Late 1500s: A group who became known as “Puritans” wanted to purify the Anglican church so it would be further away from Catholicism Pilgrims came over on the Mayflower in 1620

How Religious Factions Developed from Catholicism

What’s the difference between a Puritan and a Pilgrim? Some Puritans just wanted more reforms to take place non-separatist Puritans Some wanted complete separation from Anglican church and its remnants of Catholicism separatist Puritans, aka Pilgrims

The Puritan Ideology Humans exist for the glory of God. Natural depravity (wickedness) of humans; the manifestation of evil is as real as God The Bible is the sole expression of God’s will. Everything happens according to God’s will. Predestination (John Calvin’s belief): God has already decided who will achieve salvation and who will not. You never knew if you were one of the “elect,” but you had to live as though you were Hard work, self-discipline (“Puritan Ethic”)

Governance Puritan colonies operated under a THEOCRACY, which is a blending of church and state. Church was funded by tax money A governor existed, but the local reverend also held a powerful political position Church attendance was legally mandated

Justification: Puritans were critical and intolerant, due to their ethnocentrism and belief in manifest destiny. “We shall be as a City upon a Hill, the eyes of all people are upon us; so that if we shall deal falsely with our God in this work we have undertaken and so cause him to withdraw his present help from us, we shall be made a story and a by-word through the world.” -John Winthrop, Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony

Literature Puritans Colonial Plain style (no figurative language) Religious and instructional Sermons, diaries, journals, some poetry (mostly religious) Colonial Narrative journals
