Puritans leaves England?

I believe it was due ot religious intolerance - they wished to be able to practise their own religion freely, which they were not permitted to do in England.

The Puritans, those radical forefathers who left England to escape tyrannical religion.\n\nThe Spaniards were more interested in the gold and silver and basically slaughtered the Indians, or killed them by spreading disease.

The Puritans were not religiously free in England, particularly when Charles I ascended to the throne (his father, James I of "King James Bible" fame was not sympathetic to the Puritans either).  The Puritans longed for religious freedom, but also originally wanted to set up a "new England", which would be modeled on their own theological teachings (in other words, the Puritans weren't supportive of religious freedom for those who disagreed with them, either).

Totally something you have to pray about. God will give you the answer. I have a friend in the methodist church and with some of the things going on, he wanted to leave. He feels God wants him to stay and try to change things.\nSo...pray about it.

The fact that the country was founded, in part, by a religious people - the Puritans - is precisely why we should be careful to keep one view of God out of our schools and government.\n\nThe Puritans left England because they disagreed with the English about the details of religion, and religion was built into the English government. While many Americans are Christians right now, there's still plenty of disagreement about exactly how religion should be observed - if religion is in government and school, then the government and schools have to choose a precise definition of religion, and chances are, it won't quite be the religion you believe in.\n\nSo, instead, when this country was founded, we established the doctrine of separation of Church and State, which guarantees that the government will not interfere with your religion. The school won't teach a religion to your children, so you can teach your children what you want them to learn. The government won't give money to churches - or take taxes from them - so they're not funding things you might not agree with, or taking money that you've given to your church.\n\nWhile, sometimes, it might seem like the government is preventing people from doing something with their religion - like praying in school - it really stems from this freedom to choose; if we have one prayer in schools, then the government is saying there's a right way to pray.\n\nSo, to keep the country from crumbling to the ground, we all agree not to force our neighbors to pray like us - and, in return, our neighbors don't use the law to make us pray like them.

Puritanism admonished men against wasteful expenditures, worldly pleasures and idleness, as implying a fall from grace, by its emphasis on the responsibility of the individual in the eyes of God.  Additionally, due to biblical passages, they saw play as something confined to childhood and adults in their view had to be industrious.  Many sports were considered wrong simply because they gave pleasure to the spectators. Other were seen to violate biblical laws, such as though shalt not kill.  Also, Puritans, as with some other Christian denominations, sought to eliminate remnants of non-Christian cultures such as the Greeks who prized athleticism.  \n\nEventually those who were not so conservative with religion gained some sort of favor and that combined with historical views led to sports being re-embraced.

According to more recent research1 there seems to have been two movements of people in 1212 in France and Germany. The similarities of the two allowed later chroniclers to lump them together as a single tale.\n\nIn the first movement Nicholas, a German shepherd, led a group across the Alps and into Italy in the early spring of 1212. About 7,000 arrived in Genoa in late August. However, their plans didn't bear fruit when the waters failed to part as promised and the band broke up. Some left for home, others may have gone to Rome, while still others may have traveled down the Rhone to Marseille where they were probably sold into slavery. Few returned home and none reached the Holy Land.\n\nThe second movement was led by a "shepherd boy"2 named Stephen de Cloyes near the village of Châteaudun who claimed in June that he bore a letter for the king of France from Jesus. Attracting a crowd of over 30,000 he went to Saint-Denis where he was seen to work miracles. On the orders of Philip II, on the advice of the University of Paris, the crowd was sent home, and most of them went. None of the contemporary sources mentions plans of the crowd to go to Jerusalem.\nThe Children's Crusade, by Gustav Dore\nEnlarge\nThe Children's Crusade, by Gustav Dore\n\nLater chroniclers embellished these events. Recent research suggests the participants were not children, at least not the very young. In the early 1200s, bands of wandering poor started cropping up throughout Europe. These were people displaced by economic changes at the time which forced many poor peasants in northern France and Germany to sell their land. These bands were referred to as pueri (Latin for "boys") in a condescending manner, in much the same way that people from rural areas in the United States are called "country boys."\n\nIn 1212, a young French puer named Stephen and a German puer named Nicholas separately began claiming that they had each had similar visions of Jesus. This resulted in these bands of roving poor being united into a religious protest movement which transformed this forced wandering into a religious journey. The pueri marched, following the Cross and associating themselves with Jesus's biblical journey. This, however, was not a prelude to a holy war.\n\nThirty years later, chroniclers read the accounts of these processions and translated pueri as "children" without understanding the usage. So, the Children's Crusade was born. The resulting story illustrates how ingrained the concept of Crusading was in the people of that time— the chroniclers assumed that the pueri must have been Crusaders, in their innocence returning to the foundations of crusading characteristic of Peter the Hermit, and meeting the same sort of tragic fate.

There are various reasons why one leaves a church; not all of them have to do with doctrinal disagreements. Sometimes it is just because they move to another area where there isn't a local church of their particular denomination.

The Pilgrims left Plymouth, England, on September 6, 1620. Their destination? The New World. Although filled with uncertainty and peril, it offered both civil and religious liberty.\n\nFor over two months, the 102 passengers braved the harsh elements of a vast storm-tossed sea. Finally, with firm purpose and a reliance on Divine Providence, the cry of "Land!" was heard. \nArriving in Massachusetts in late November, the Pilgrims sought a suitable landing place. On December 11, just before disembarking at Plymouth Rock, they signed the "Mayflower Compact" - America's first document of civil government and the first to introduce self-government.\n\n After a prayer service, the Pilgrims began building hasty shelters. However, unprepared for the starvation and sickness of a harsh New England winter, nearly half died before spring. Yet, persevering in prayer, and assisted by helpful Indians, they reaped a bountiful harvest the following summer.\n\nThe grateful Pilgrims then declared a three-day feast, starting on December 13, 1621, to thank God and to celebrate with their Indian friends. While this was not the first Thanksgiving in America (thanksgiving services were held in Virginia as early as 1607), it was America's first Thanksgiving Festival.\n\n Pilgrim Edward Winslow described the Pilgrims' Thanksgiving in these words:\n"Our harvest being gotten in, our Governor sent four men on fowling [bird hunting] so that we might, after a special manner, rejoice together after we had gathered the fruit of our labors. They four in one day killed as much fowl as... served the company almost a week... Many of the Indians [came] amongst us and... their greatest King, Massasoit, with some ninety men, whom for three days we entertained and feasted; and they went out and killed five deer, which they brought... And although it be not always so plentiful as it was at this time with us, yet BY THE GOODNESS OF GOD WE ARE... FAR FROM WANT."\n\n In 1789, following a proclamation issued by President George Washington, America celebrated its first Day of Thanksgiving to God under its new constitution. That same year, the Protestant Episcopal Church, of which President Washington was a member, announced that the first Thursday in November would become its regular day for giving thanks, "unless another day be appointed by the civil authorities." Yet, despite these early national proclamations, official Thanksgiving observances usually occurred only at the State level. \nMuch of the credit for the adoption of a later ANNUAL national Thanksgiving Day may be attributed to Mrs. Sarah Joseph Hale, the editor of Godey's Lady's Book. For thirty years, she promoted the idea of a national Thanksgiving Day, contacting President after President until President Abraham Lincoln responded in 1863 by setting aside the last Thursday of November as a national Day of Thanksgiving. Over the next seventy-five years, Presidents followed Lincoln's precedent, annually declaring a national Thanksgiving Day. Then, in 1941, Congress permanently established the fourth Thursday of each November as a national holiday.\n\n Lincoln's original 1863 Thanksgiving Proclamation came - spiritually speaking - at a pivotal point in his life. During the first week of July of that year, the Battle of Gettysburg occurred, resulting in the loss of some 60,000 American lives. Four months later in November, Lincoln delivered his famous "Gettsysburg Address." It was while Lincoln was walking among the thousands of graves there at Gettysburg that he committed his life to Christ. As he explained to a friend:\n\n\nWhen I left Springfield [to assume the Presidency] I asked the people to pray for me. I was not a Christian. When I buried my son, the severest trial of my life, I was not a Christian. But when I went to Gettysburg and saw the graves of thousands of our soldiers, I then and there consecrated myself to Christ.\n\nAs

I have heard that one of the reasons that Britain got away from being religious was because of the troubles between Catholics, Anglicans, and Puritans early on.  The Government in Britain went back and forth between loyalties and persecution would be against the Anglicans for a time, and then against the Catholics for a time, and back and forth.  People basically got fed up and stayed home.\n\nIn America, a lot of people supposedly came here for the main purpose of religious freedom.  You would have to be a pretty devoted person to pack up and leave everything you knew to come to a newly discovered frontier land.  So maybe historically, that is the reason.

All speculation.  He might have gone anywhere.  Some say he went to England. Some say India.  There is no record of his travels, though that doesn't mean he didn't leave his country and see the world.
