The initial inhabitants of North and South America, known as Paleo-Indians, arrived here over thousands of years ago. It is believed that the Native American forefathers reached this country via a piece of land that linked Asia to North America. Upon arrival, the Paleo-Indians split into numerous tribes. They broke off into a number of tribes, including but not limited to, the Paiutes, the Shoshonis, the Algonquians, the Aztecs, and the Mayans. The Paiutes and the Shoshonis tended to migrate seasonally. They are both tribes that settled in Nevada and Utah. The Algonquian tribe inhabited present-day northeastern United States and eastern Canada. They preferred to remain in their territories, they rarely migrated. The Aztecs, a bellicose nation, colonized what is now Mexico and Guatemala. The Aztecs had gained power over central Mexico before the Spanish accessed the new world. The Mayans also settled in Mexico and Guatemala. They were a very intelligent nation that already had writing and mathematics systems in place by the time the Spanish arrived. The various indigenous tribes then settled in a variety of places across the Americas and formed their own religious and cultural practices. The English Reformation was a phenomenon that took place in the 16th century. Puritans living in England were facing “religious persecution” the state religion at the time was the Church of England.

The Protestant Reformation was a religious and political movement that affected the practice of Christianity as well as most other religions throughout Europe. The series of events in sixteenth century England that caused the Church to break away from the authority of the Pope and the Roman Catholic church is known as the English reformation. Many traveled to the colonies to escape religious persecution throughout this reformation period in Europe.

Puritans can be found at the beginnings of the English Reformation. In the 1500s England broke away from the Roman Catholic Church and created a new church called the Church of England. In 1630 the Puritans left England in search of religious freedom. The Puritans wanted to leave the Church of England to become pure by getting rid of Catholic practices.The Puritans did not want to completely separate from the Church of England. They wanted to make reforms or changes, but King Charles 1 would threaten the Puritans with harsh punishments if they did not obey the Church of England. So they left England to find freedom in America. The Puritans established the Massachusetts Bay Colony when they arrived in America. The Puritans wanted to base the colony on the laws of God.(“Puritanism”) What Puritans believed about witchcraft, forgiveness, and sin all had an enormous impact on their culture and contributed to the Salem witch trials.
The year was 1630, when a religious group set out for the New England colonies in hopes to find religious freedoms they were being deprived of back at home. In England this group, known as Puritans, believed that the churches needed to become “purified.” Since many churches in England did not change, approximately 21,000 Puritans fled to New England colonies for religious freedom in 1641. Even though Puritans are known for their influence in religion, they also had an impact on political, economic, and social development throughout the New England colonies from 1630 through 1660. The Puritans affected three major ways of New England's lifestyle, political, economic, and social development. They affected politics by having equal separation of power and religious freedom.They even influenced economics with strategic placement of farms and their viewpoint of trading. Puritans impacted social development by creating a close community and taking action in the name of God.
1)Paleo-Indians, the first Americans lived in bands of fifteen to fifty people, and traveled within their territory to hunt. Archaic Indians experienced a warming climate. One of the results of the warming climate was better hunting. Forest grew larger with a greater variety of plants and animals. The changes allowed some Indians to reside in permanent homes. The ample supply of food allowed more peoples to live on less acreage. The weather also allowed for specialization of caring for plants; this was the beginning of controlling crops to better supply the people.
In 1624, the early 17th century, the religious group called the Puritans, settled for the first time in the New England territory. Once there, they chose to inhabit the Massachusetts area.

There is no certain answers as to how pre columbian natives got to America. There are many theories based on hard evidence. The Paleo-Indians, archaeologists refer to as the first americans. At this point there was no official scripture in their society. Paleo Indians seemed to have paved the way for many other cultures to settle.

These Paleo-Indians began to utilize storage pits for surplus from gathering and hunting in the land about 3,000 years ago (Chartwell, 1999). No more would they be completely at the mercy of nature and roam as the game lead them. They could now return to storage sites over and over again using and replenishing the contents as needed (Chartwell,1999). This storage system gave the Paleo-Indians the ability to begin to carve out their own stable areas in the region. During this period of transition, the Paleo-Indians would collect seeds from valuable medicinal plants and plant them near storage pits so that they could be easily found again and used (Chartwell, 1999). This is the beginning of what would become the agricultural community of the

Puritans were people who came from England to express their religion. When they made it to America the future generations started to stray from their belief.
