    Through all the hardships optimism and hope were two of the most important characteristics a passenger would have to retain through both journeys; both slave and pilgrims had to believe that wherever the end up will be better than the ship they were on. A simple slip in these would quickly lead to the downfall of the traveler. Faith was another important quality and the Puritans had it strong and proud. Even in the hardest of times these people believed their lives were in the hands of God and if he wanted them to live then they would live; however, this idea of faith in God was much harder for the slaves to hold. How could a God who supposedly loves each person allow for such a cruel fate to fall upon someone?

  • Why Did The Puritans Establish A City Upon A Hill

    379 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Puritan’s goal of coming to the New World was not to create a new life, but to create the ideal model of living for the “corrupt” inhabitants of England. This was coined “The Errand”, the Puritans desire to establish a City Upon a Hill that others could look up to and imitate in order to receive God’s grace.

  • Original Puritan Dilemma

    532 Words  | 3 Pages

    While the first-generation Puritans believed this, their offspring who knew nothing of the religious hardship back home would rather have personal indulgences, which puts strain on the Errand. Adding on to that, the idea of being a collective group changed into the Puritans becoming more focused on defining themselves away from the Church as seen with King Phillip’s War. The war represents a change with the second and third generation Puritans who needed new, secular, enemies to define them as told by Marone when he says “The Puritans groped back to the tried and true-they found terrible new enemies to define them” (Marone 33). The Puritans defining themselves through fighting the Natives in King Phillip’s war, totally undermines the Puritans’ original enemy of being eternally damned. Furthermore, the Puritan Dilemma of the conflict of old vs new impacted the Puritans’ view of nature, as seen with the Salem Witch Trials and how God was punishing them for straying from the Errand.

    Essentially, Puritans are expected to follow a strict set of religious and moral guidelines from which their actions and morality are derived. According to Hall’s A Reforming People, these moral expectations first introduced by the pilgrims were the driving force behind the power that the Puritan ministry had over society: “Ministers and laypeople looked first to congregations as the place where love, mutuality, and righteousness would flourish, and second to civil society. …Alongside love, mutuality, and righteousness they placed another set of values summed up in the word “equity.” Employed in a broad array of contexts, the concept of equity conveyed the colonists’ hopes for justice and fairness in their social world.”
