Cavaliers and the Puritans: From England to the Americas
Number of pages:
5
ABSTRACT:
A 5 page discussion of the integral differences between the Puritans and the Cavaliers. Traces the groups from their origin in England to their exploits in the Americas. The author of this paper contends that the Puritans were seeking to establish a new Jerusalem, a place where justice and fairness would prevail. The Puritans’ reluctance to move into new areas of the New World meant that the majority of their impact was restricted to the northern portion of what would eventually become the United States. In contrast, the Cavaliers were more interested in expanding their areas of control. Their influence would quickly spread from the Northeast into the South. Much of their philosophy centered around capturing control of and taming the “New World” and its people. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
