Who were the puritans what did they want?

The Puritans were a group of English Protestants in the 16th and 17th centuries who sought to reform and purify the Church of England from what they viewed as remnants of Catholicism. They emphasized a strict interpretation of The Bible, personal piety, and communal morality. The Puritans aimed to create a "city upon a hill," a model society based on their religious principles, which ultimately led many to migrate to North America in search of religious freedom and the opportunity to build their ideal community.
