PLYMOUTH COLONY
Established in 1620 by the Pilgrims… Puritan separatists who believed the English Church was too corrupt to be saved.
In 1620, the Pilgrims crossed the Atlantic in the ship the Mayflower to found the Plymouth Colony on the south shore of Massachusetts Bay.
Before they disembarked, the group of about 100 made an agreement called the Mayfl ower Compact.
The settlers agreed to form a government and obey its laws. This idea of self-government would later become one of the founding principles of the United States.

PURITANS
Religious movement begun in England by those who wished to purify the Church of England. Puritans believed in a literal interpretation of the Bible and that salvation depended on the will of God and not on observance of rituals.
The Puritans followed the teachings of the theologian John Calvin. They believed that they could prepare for God’s saving grace by leading moral lives, praying devoutly, reading the Bible, and heeding their minister’s sermons.
But not even the most devout could claim salvation as a right and a certainty, for they believed God alone determined who was saved. Salvation depended on the will of God rather than good behavior or adherence to church rules (elected vs. choice).
![Page 19: THE THIRTEEN COLONIES. ORGANIZATION OF COLONIAL GOVERNMENTS 1. Joint Stock Company – self governing colony – operated under shared ownership (like a](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012919/5697c0081a28abf838cc6c51/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Puritans came from all ranks of English society, including aristocrats. Most belonged to “the middling sort” – a term used to describe small-property holders, farmers, shopkeepers, and skilled artisans. Their modest properties put them economically ahead of much of the English population.
Puritanism reinforced the values of thrift, diligence, and morality. Puritans insisted that men honored God by working hard in their occupations. One Puritan explained, “God sent you unto this world as unto a Workhouse, not a Playhouse.
