Expert Solution
Step 1

During the 17th century, English Puritans came to America and colonized New England. They were members of the Church of England who thought that the Church of England was not adequately reformed. They opposed the English Crown's ecclesiastical policies. They desired to refine the Church of England from the unacceptable teachings of the Roman Catholic church. The leaders of the Church and state found it difficult to accept the demands of the Puritans.
