1630= The Great Migration

11 ships, nearly 1000 immigrants

John Winthrop first governor

Prospered through fur, fishing, and ship building. Biggest and most influential New England settlement.1/9

CITY ON A HILL

Wanted to build a perfect society, one that all could look to as an example (strict code of conduct)…

Believed they had a covenant with God (a mission)…

“for we must consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people are upon us. So that if we shall deal falsely with our God in this work we have undertaken, and so cause him to withdraw His present help from us, we shall be made a story and a by-word through the world.” -John Winthrop

“Ye are the light of the world. A city that

is set on an hill cannot be hidden.”

Matthew 5:14

-Adult male church members = FREEMEN

-Only FREEMEN vote (2/5 population)

-All pay taxes, have to attend church

Believed God called men to their profession… “PROTESTANT WORK ETHIC”

PREACHING FOCUSED ON DAMNATION AND HELL’S FIRE

Puritans believed they needed a trained and educated clergy, so they set up Harvard and Yale Colleges for this purpose…

TEST TIP:

FEW AMERICANS CAN INDENTIFY ANNE HUTCHINSON. SHE IS A NOTEWORTHY

EXAMPLE OF A DISSIDENT WHO CHALLENGED THE EARLY PURITANS. APUSH

TEST WRITERS ADMIRE DISSIDENTS AND THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THEM!

The Half-Way Covenant eased requirements for the church membership by allowing the baptism of the children of baptized but unconverted Puritans

Over time, less and less people were able to become church members, they needed to make things easier…
