Why did the Puritans come to North America?
1 answer
The Puritans came to North America in search of religious freedom. They were a group of English Protestants who wanted to reform the Church of England and create a more "pure" form of Christianity. They believed that the Church of England was too closely tied to the Catholic Church and that it had not gone far enough in its reforms. They wanted to create a society based on their own religious beliefs and values, and they saw North America as a place where they could do this.
