Question

persecution
, or the mistreatment or punishment of people because of their beliefs is this true?

Answer 1

Yes, that's true. The Puritans were a group of English Protestants who sought to reform the Church of England and escape religious persecution. Many Puritans emigrated to North America in the early 17th century, particularly to New England, to establish communities where they could practice their religious beliefs freely and according to their interpretations. Their migration was largely motivated by the desire for religious freedom and to create a society based on their Puritan values and beliefs.
