Members of the Church of England until the mid-16th century, the
Puritans thought the Church had become too political and needed to
be "purified." While many Puritans believed the Church was capable
of reform, a large number decided that separating from the Church
was their only remaining course of action. Thus the mass migration
of Puritans (known as Pilgrims) to America took place. Although
Puritanism died in England around 1689 and in America in 1758,
Puritan beliefs, such as self-reliance, frugality, industry, and
energy remain standards of the American ideal. The A to Z of
Puritans tells the story of Puritanism from its origins until its
eventual demise. This is done through a chronology, an
introduction, a bibliography, and several hundred cross-referenced
dictionary entries on important people, places, and events.
