The Puritans were a group of English Protestants who sought to purify the Church of England. They originated in England during the late 16th century, mainly coming from the counties of East Anglia and the West Country. Some Puritans later migrated to America in the 17th century to establish colonies based on their religious beliefs.
Separatist Puritans believed in completely separating from the Church of England and forming their own independent congregations. Non-separatist Puritans, on the other hand, wanted to reform the Church of England from within. Ultimately, the Pilgrims who settled in Plymouth were Separatist Puritans, while the Puritans who settled in Massachusetts Bay Colony were mostly non-separatists.
