What was the underlying tension in the puritan community? The puritans were a group of people who worship God saying that the lord forgives all. Then they would turn around and used him for their own personal use. They would exile‚ kill‚ and torture people to death in the lord’s name. However‚ the ones behind all these acts weren’t just the colonist but also the priest! They were the ones in charge of everything that would happen in the colonies. The puritans were people who based their social lives

How organizations organize to respond to the environment Human beings for millennia have used energy‚ initially it was with the use of fire for light‚ heat‚ cooking and for safety‚ and its use can be traced back at least 1.9 million years (Bowman‚ 2009).

Personally‚ I think that the New England Puritans did live up to their vision of a community for a certain amount of time. I feel this way because they did in fact have a set of rules that mostly everyone followed. Also‚ they had a set form of government to follow‚ and over time they realized what it took to survive in the Chesapeake area. The Puritans had a very specific opinion on what they valued. This happened to be religion‚ and they agreed to live in a community that had those values in common.

The puritans came to the Americas in search of religious freedom but‚ in their hypocrocy‚ had no tolerance for the beliefs of others. As was the case of Thomas Morton who was a devout atheist. This was Morton’s only crime‚ a different religious belief‚ which lead the puritans to show their true colors‚ that they were just as intolerant as those who persecuted them in England. Bradford’s account of this injustice has very little evidence against Morton. In his journal‚ Bradford accusses Morton
