Puritans & The Quest For Religious Freedom In America :
5 pages in length. Like so many other groups who sought a
better life, the Puritans created a new existence in America
different from what they had known in England. The year
was 1620 when the Puritans, an assembly of religious
Pilgrims who were persecuted for their beliefs, made their
way to the United States in an effort to separate themselves
from religious oppression. Their goal was to find a land
where they were free to practice their beliefs without the
constant torment, and America was just the place for which
they were searching. However, when they arrived, they
turned into the very element of persecution from which they
escaped; not only did they segregated their religion, but they
also refused to allow other groups attain the same religious
freedom they, too, had so badly sought. The writer discusses
the double standard of religious freedom and the Puritans.

Native American social structure was substantially
intertwined with religious and political principles as a means
