In the 17th century, New England Puritans tried to create a

             During the seventeenth century, Puritans came to American looking for hope, freedom, wealth and happiness. Many found it, but many missed the boat. As many as 6,500 to 8,000 people annually left, as 25,000 to 30,000 left during the first three decades of the century. Most traveled as young, unmarried servants. Puritans were very much trying to create a world of their own that they could manage, control, take over, and look over as a whole. When they came to settle, they had to decide quickly what they wanted in life and how they were going to achieve their goal.

Most puritans went under the religion of Calvinism as many were often religious bigots because they discriminated against the Indians and only accepted the kind that didn't like Quakers.
             By the end of the seventeenth century, Parliament was much in progress for making rules and regulations for others to follow.

Most of them who had dreamed of becoming great planters, were quickly disappointed.

As they moved on in their lives, they ran across problems such as those and were relieved to find themselves out of work and poor.
