Persecution under Charles I
Puritans thought that the Anglican Church was a legitimate church, but it was in need of reforms
In the early 1620's, English officials forced the Puritans to conform to the ways of the Anglican Church
Those who did not change received brutal punishments
In the 1630's, 20,000 Puritans emigrated to New England to escape persecution from England
