"In fact, Puritan was a derogatory word used by their opponents. Anyway, unlike the Pilgrims, the *Puritans* wanted..." I love how their opponents won (at least the war of verbiage).
Biblical Christian religion that wanted nothing to do with the royal crown of Rome (Roman Catholic Church) which is why they left their homeland to practice freely, their reformed heritage that thousands before them, died for. Total opposite of mainstream Christianity namely the health, wealth, and prosperity Christianity that runs rampant all throughout America, and also spreading like the black plague internationally.
This is erroneous. Maybe propaganda. #1 most of the women died in the first year of the settlement. #2 The people called themselves "Saints" not congregationalists. #3 it was not based on socialism. The settlers got along with the natives. Primarily because the two of the natives could speech some English and Stephen Hopkins work together with the natives. He is my 11th great grand Father. The had no slavery. Only indentured servants. From this video you would think the first setter women were about feminism. Not true.
You are not entirely accurate, either. 1. Puritan economics was not socialism as we think of it, it is true, because socialism as a concept did not yet exist. Neither did capitalism exist as a concept, and the Puritans were certainly not capitalist. They believed the government should take an active role in directing the economy, primarily through price and wage controls and granting monopolies. The point the presenter in the video is making, however, is that Winthrop's vision for the Massachusetts commonwealth was that it would be strongly cooperative, offering help and support to community members in need, and that there would not be large differences between the wealthy and the poor. In these ways he has a lot in common with the beliefs that developed into socialism in the 19th century, so there is a connection to socialism as we know it. They are similarly connected to the development of capitalism. 2. The notion that they "got along with the natives" is simply wrong - see the Pequot Wars in the 1630's and King Philip's War in the 1670's. There are more examples, of course, but perhaps the clearest evidence is the very small number of indigenous people in New England today. 3. The idea that they "had no slavery" is also completely wrong. Native Americans captured in war were enslaved beginning in the 1630's and the first documented African slaves were brought to Boston in 1638. In 1641 Massachusetts established a legal definition of slavery, encoding the practice into law. Indentured servitude was entirely different, since it is a legal contract agreed to by two parties - the most common use of the legal instrument of indenture was for apprentices, specifying the legal responsibilities of both apprentices and masters, and it lasted well into the 19th century.
Homeschooling mom here. I just want to thank you for this video series!

So this might be the source of something I learned. "Educate a man you educate an individual, educate a woman and you educate a family."
Anne Hutchinson (née Marbury) was my 12th great-grandmother. ♥️
I am related to Ann Hutchinson as well
Question so they brought over religion ?
