Puritans

             The Puritans developed an ideal that could be attained
             by working and following what the bible. The modern American
             Dream is always stereotyped by money, power, and happiness. The
             goal that the Puritans made for today's society's American Dream
             might be a huge house with a white picket fence. What the
             Puritans did not know is that things changed, and the people of

             hard, and to follow the rules and regulations. This was so they
             might not go to hell, have suffering, or be accused of being a

             Puritans set, for themselves, and today's society to have. For
