Colonial New England, specifically spanning between the decades of 1630 and 1660, developed much differently and quickly than other colonies of the New World. Despite having the same problems to face as the others, New England had a played out, religious and very prosperous goal, and their means to achieve the goal were successful. Through their political agenda, economical well-being and social conformity under religion, they were able to develop sturdily and quickly while making an attempt unknowingly at a utopian society.

The Chesapeake Bay Colony and the New England Colony were established by America's early settlers, the Puritans. The Puritan's main focus was religion. The Church of England had them restricted and they wanted out. Between 1630 and 1660, the Puritans demonstrated many reasons of why and how their ideals affected how their societies were constructed. Puritan ideals affected the development of societies in a few ways: politically, economically, and socially.

The Puritains were one of the largest religious groups that crossed the Atlantic to settle in the New World. They escaped England in search for freedom of religion. The Purtians lived very different lives from other setters in the New World, for their relgious views impacted the way they lived immensely. During 1630 and 1660s, the Purtians doctrinal structure shaped their political, economic, and social, evolution.

The Puritans were one of the largest religious groups that crossed the Atlantic to settle in the New World. They escaped England in search for freedom of religion. The group landed in the Northern part of the New World, creating colonies in modern day Massachusetts. The Puritans lived very different lives from other setters in the New World, for their religious views impacted the way they lived immensely, and their doctrinal structure shaped their political, economic, and social, evolution.

New England was a colonial region full of strong opinions, strong ideals, and strong willed people. Almost every aspect of their puritan lives would help develop what would become the center of trade for colonial America. Their loyalty to God remained evident as they ruled with a theocracy, their economics were controlled by their strong work ethics, their willingness to give for the good of the group, and their simple lifestyles, and their social structure was based upon their religion, their class system, and their family dynamics.

When John Winthrop and the other Puritans formed the Massachusetts Bay Colony, they did so for religious freedom. The utopian "City upon a hill" is the idealistic society Winthrop envisioned in the name of God. The intensity of their beliefs cast their influence to other New England colonies and spread their ideas to others. The values the Puritans lived by affected the other New England colonies in their inclusiveness, the permeation of religion in all aspects of life, and in their sense of community and work ethics.

In the mid 1600's there was a lot going on in new England. . This time period was the developing time because of all the ideas that the puritans had on there voyage to the new world. puritans strongly believed in the will of god and lived the way that god intended. The puritan ideals that affected the political view, economic view and social view were all different but there were a few main ones. There political view was Theocracy, there work ethics , family system, and social class.

This time period had a great amount of development in the area because of all the ideas that the puritans had on their voyage to the new world. The main Idea behind everything was their strong belief in religion. The puritans strongly believed in the will of god and lived the way that god intended. The puritan ideals on the political view, economic view and social view were to many to state them all but, they had a main idea for each. There political view was Theocracy, their work ethics was the main idea for economy because god came before everything, social view was affected by family system, and there ethics for religion.

The New England colonies were set up by those from England looking for religious relief from the Church of England. These people believed that Church of England didn't live by God the right way or had to much of their Catholic roots. The Puritans settled in the colony of Massachusetts Bay set up by John Winthrop to be a "City on a Hill" for the puritans. The puritans moved to the colonies in family units with a strong stance in religion that would shape their development in the New World. Through their settlement they affected New England's political ideas, mainly theocracy, economic system by work ethics and a farming community, and the social evolution through the class systems, strong religion, family oriented, and the gender identities.

The New England colonies were founded and set up because of different factions looking for religious relief from the Church of England. These people believed that the Church of England either didn't live by God the right way or had too much of their Catholic roots. One of these groups were the Puritans, who settled in the colony of Massachusetts Bay, set up by John Winthrop to be a "City on a Hill". The Puritans moved to the New World in family units with a strong idea in how religion should be, so much that it would shape their development of the colonies. Through their settlement they affected New England's political ideas, mainly theocracy, economic system by work ethics and a farming community, and the social evolution through class systems, strong religion, family oriented, and the gender identities.

I feel like you're sooooo close to answering the question perfectly. I would look at the thesis statement once more, then at the question assigned in the DBQ. Though the main ideas (politics, economics, social) are there, I feel like they're hidden by your commentary ("mainly theocracy... by work ethics and a farming community...") You'll have plenty of time to expand on these in your paragraphs--maybe just focus on HOW these things were changed. As for your thoughts on that, I think that they're great. I would consider rephrasing it though, maybe to "through implemented class systems, a strong religion, family orientated community, and gender." (Gender identities may refer to whether or not people were straight, gay, bi, etc. (; )

The Ideas and values held by the Puritans influenced the political, economic, and social development of the New England colonies from 1630 through the 1660s in many ways. The Puritans believed in a hard work ethic, and a “godly” lifestyle. Religion influenced society through the teaching of literature for religious purposes, economy through the work ethics held by the puritans that didn’t want to labeled as lazy, and Political through accusations and laws based on political beliefs.

Many English settlers came to the New England colonies in search of religious freedom. The Puritans formed a "City upon a hill" as a utopian society based around the idea of being God's followers. The family-based community's religious aspects influenced the ideas of several developing colonies in New England. Puritan values influenced the political view (theocracy), the work ethics that determined the economy, and the literature and teaching methods of the society.

John Winthrop desired that New England be a sort of “city on a hill;” a model for a utopian, godly society. The fact that such a powerful public figure in the new world used such a phrase from the Jesus’ idyllic Sermon on the Mount--which can be found in the bible book “Matthew”--speaks volumes about the puritan mentality regarding religion and the inclusion of god in their daily lives. In the three decades spanning from 1630 to 1660, these basic religious ideals would go on to shape the political, economical, and social development of New England more than any other factor by influencing the government, the importance of conformity, and the ways that the New England citizens led their daily lives.

Puritans were known to have religion as the center of the world. They established population centers which was usually near or around a church. The very ideas and values by Puritans created in the New England colonies are very different compared to the Chesapeake colonies whose ideas was mostly surrounded by the economic interest not to form new lives the way god wanted them to live their lives. Political, economic and social ideas were all drastically changed in this area due to the puritans beliefs.

Puritans were known to have religion as the center of the world. John Winthrop created a “city on a hill” to pull away from the Catholic roots found in England. The very ideas and values by Puritans created in the New England colonies are very different compared to the Chesapeake colonies whose ideas was mostly surrounded by the economic interest. Puritans had real strong ethics on work and their simple lifestyles they chose. There social structure and family dynamic were all based on their religion. Those very things were what set the Puritans to develop so differently from the Middle and Chesapeake colonies.

One of the first settler groups in North America, the Puritans were not as diverse as the other groups that followed, yet they arrived with ideals that affected the many parts of their lives, such as their political theocracy, their economy of farming and work ethic, and their social lives-including their religion, education, class, family, and their ever changing womens’ identity and role in life. The Puritans came over for an ideal society, one that John Winthrop of Document A states that, “...wee [Puritan settlers] must be knitt together, in this worke, as one man.” The Puritans were mostly White Christian English families that wished to build a utopian society in the New World, however, as time went on they found that things did not go quite the way they planned in the later years. John Higginson of Document J says tells the government that lost their way, “New England is originally a plantation of Religion, not… of Trade.” But the Puritans came from wishing for a Utopia and others to work together to justifying the bad events that they caused with God’s will and wishing things turned back to the way they were shows how the ideals and society of the Puritans changed over time.

The Puritans, one of the first groups of settlers in America, were not as diverse as the other groups that followed. The Puritans were mostly white Christian English families from Great Britain that wished to build a Utopian society in the New World. Much like other groups of colonists that traveled to America, the Puritans’ ever changing ideals about the various aspects of their culture shaped their ‘Utopian’ society over time. When they first arrived in the New World, the ideals they had and will form affected the many parts of their lives, such as their political theocracy, their economy of farming and work ethic, and their social lives-including their religion, education, class, family, and their ever changing woman's’ identity and role in life.
