Give a brief account on Puritans.

Many thousands of English Puritans settled in New England at the beginning of the 17th century. Puritans were fervently religious Church of England adherents who opposed royal ecclesiastical policy because they felt that the Church of England needed more reform and should have shed more of its Roman Catholic doctrine. The majority of Puritans were "non-separating Puritans," who opposed founding separate congregations apart from the Church of England; these individuals were later referred to as Nonconformists. There was a small group of "separating Puritans" who supported founding congregations apart from the Church. Separatists who founded the Plymouth Colony were known as the Pilgrims. Puritans mostly settled in New England, though a few made their way to other English colonies across the Atlantic.

B. William Bradford and William Brewster saw North America as a land where they could practice their religion freely.

The leader of the Puritan separatist movement was William Brewster. Due to discrimination based on his religion, he was expelled from England. One of the movement's key players was William Bradford. They both took the Mayflower to Plymouth to build a community where they might freely practice their religion.

C. The Puritans in Massachusetts Bay were committed to the idea of religious toleration  and welcomed all religions to their colony.
