The Puritans migrated to North America primarily to escape religious persecution in England and to establish a community where they could practice their faith freely and implement their vision of a "pure" Christian society. This migration led to the establishment of several colonies, particularly in New England, which became centers of Puritan life and governance, influencing American cultural and religious development.
