Question

What are the beliefs of Puritans? What did these beliefs lead to?

Answer 1

They led to Sunday Blue Laws (no sale of alcohol on Sunday, businesses could not open), harsh punishments including banishment or execution for heresy, and our general two faced attitude in America, of consuming s*x (p**n, mainstream advertising) and condemning it at the same time.

They were a Protestant sect. Like all the rest, they believed that they were the true descendants of the Apostles. They differed from others by believing in plainness, no mixing with people of other sects, charity (only within the sect), and were not strongly evangelical (killed, did not convert, the local tribes, excuded, did not convert, would-be neighbors).

The Connecticut colony was started, in part, by people who could no longer stand living with the Puritans.
