2 The Puritans vs. The Separatists of England England was once a Catholic country, but in 1532 King Henry VIII created the Anglican Church (Church of England). However, over the years that followed, many became unhappy with the religion of England. The Puritans were a powerful religious group that wanted to reform and purify the church in England. They were different from the Pilgrims or Separatists, who wanted to separate entirely from the English church.

3 Separatist groups were declared illegal in England, and members faced arrest for practicing their beliefs. The Pilgrims (one of these separatist groups) migrated to America in the hopes of practicing their own religion. In September 1620, this group sailed across the Atlantic on the Mayflower. Pilgrims Leave England

4 On the way to America The Mayflower reached Cape Cod two months later in November of About a month later, the colonists built their first shelter at Plymouth in Massachusetts. William Bradford became governor of Plymouth.

5 A Life of Hard Work New England was a difficult land for the Pilgrims. The soil was rocky and poor for farming. Nearly half of the Pilgrims died during the first brutal winter; however, the Pilgrims were helped by several native Americans. After some time and with the help of the native Americans, colonists learned how to grow Native American crops such as corn, beans and squash. Under Governor William Bradford s leadership, the colony not only survived but also grew to about 300 people by

6 Native Americans Affected The arrival of the European settlers had a deadly impact on Native Americans. Because the ancestors of American Indians probably crossed the ancient land bridge from Asia to North America during the Ice Age, their descendants weren t exposed to the diseases that had plagued Europe over the centuries. When European settlers made contact with Native Americans, the settlers unwittingly exposed them to diseases to which they had no immunity. These diseases, especially smallpox, sometimes killed off a village s entire population.

7 Of Plymouth Plantation Bradford wrote about the Pilgrims long journey, their settlement in Plymouth, and the horrors of smallpox visited upon the American Indians in from Of Plymouth Plantation. in from Of Plymouth Plantation. Bradford s writing is considered to be a primary source. Primary sources are written or created by people who observed or participated in an historical event. Primary sources include letters, diaries, speeches, newspaper articles, and eyewitness accounts. Not only will Bradford s writing will include factual information about the time period, but it will also include his opinions, biases, assumptions, and point of view.

8 The Puritans Disagree with The Church of England Central to the development of the American literary tradition have been the writings of the Puritans of New England. The Puritans, unlike the Pilgrims, did not want to completely separate from the Church of England. However, they wanted a simpler form of worship. They were convinced that the English church was not moving with modern times. They believed that religion was a personal, inner experience. They did not believe that the government should come between the individual and God (separation of church and state).

9 The Puritans leave England Many Puritans suffered persecution in England. Some were put in jail and whipped, their noses slit and their ears chopped off. Some fled England for Holland. A small group in Holland, fearing that they would lose their identity as English Protestants, set sail in 1620 for what was advertised as the New World. There they hoped to build a new society patterned after God s word.

10 Puritans Come to America In 1629, 17 ships with 1000 people settled where Boston is today. The Puritans wanted to create a city on a hill and be a beacon light for others. The idea was to purify America and then return to England to save her. When the Puritans settled in Massachusetts, they were prepared. They did not suffer the hardships that the Pilgrims faced a few years earlier. The years of the 1630 s 's were called The Great Migration. 20,000 Puritans fled England to Massachusetts.

11 Puritanism Develops in America The Puritans set up their institutions as though not only God but the whole world were watching. The eyes of all people are on us, proclaimed John Winthrop, the first governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. It was in New England during the 1600s that Puritanism gained its fullest and perhaps purest development. John Winthrop

12 Basic Beliefs of the Puritans (1) Human beings are inherently evil (belief in the original sin) and so must struggle to overcome their sinful nature. (2) Personal salvation depends solely on the grace of God, not an individual effort. (Belief in predestination that God determined who would go to Heaven). (3) The Bible is the supreme authority on earth. (The Bible not only governs the church, but governs society as well).

13 More Info on the Puritans During the 1600 s, the Puritan people were very religious. They took the Sabbath (Sunday) very seriously. No one could work or play games on that day. Women had to sit on the other side of the men in the church. The average Puritan family had 7-8 children. They saw children as a blessing of God. As a result of the climate many people reached the age of 70. African Americans and Native Americans had to stay in the back or balcony during church services Many crimes were punished by the death penalty.

14 Salem Witch Trials Puritans believed in a social covenant. This included mutual watchfulness. There was no toleration of deviance or disorder, and there was no privacy. One crime punished by death was witchcraft. In 1692, the witchcraft hysteria in Salem, Massachusetts, resulted in part from fear that the community s moral foundation was threatened and therefore its political unity was also in danger. During this time, Puritans executed 20 men and women for being witches Salem.

15 Characteristics of Puritan Writing The Bible provided a model for Puritan writing. The Puritans viewed each individual life as a journey to salvation. Puritans looked for direct connections between biblical events and events in their own lives. Diaries and histories were the most common forms of literary expression in Puritan society; in them writers described the workings of God. Puritans favored a plain style of writing. They admired clarity of expression and avoided complicated figures of speech. This plain style differed greatly from the ornate high style that was in fashion in England at the time.

16 Unit 1, Part 1 Readings From Of Plymouth Plantation nonfiction writing (William Bradford) To My Dear and Loving Husband & Upon the Burning of Our House, July 10 th, 1666 poetry (Anne Bradstreet) From Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God sermon (Jonathan Edwards) The Crucible play (Arthur Miller) The Scarlet Letter novel (Nathaniel Hawthorne) film clips

17 The Scarlet Letter The Scarlet Letter was written in1850 by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The story takes place in Boston between the years 1642 to It tells the story of Hester Prynne, who had thought that her husband had died and has an affair with the town s minister, Arthur Dimmesdale. The brief affair produces a child, and because Hester will not publicly name the father of her child, she is forced to wear the letter A on her clothing at all times to repent for her sins. Hester s husband returns, but he changes his name so that he can find out the father of Pearl, Hester s daughter. Throughout the book, Hawthorne explores themes of sin, and guilt. 17
