American's First True 'Pilgrims-

America's First True "Pilgrims-

This Should give you a little bit of the
Truth of what the Pilgrims were really
About! As the post goes on there will be more!

For days post my dear friends and followers I thought I would continue to do a bit of history of the folks who came to the new world called at that time the colonies... And the long trip they all made across the Atlantic Ocean to be free of The Queen of England rule and have their own new life. Of course we all know there were many obstacles  along the way... And in the end they too ended up acting just like the British with the Native American Indians, who were truly the first that landed on the new world thousands of years before we landed on the Mayflower. So when I decided to do this post I discovered that there were actually two versions of the tale of the Mayflower.. One that most children learned as I did in school,[note that there are many children today that have descendants of the Native

In this photo YOU can see that the Native
American Indians are being abused and force
to choose the faith of the white man Religion
or either die or be a slave..

American Indian's that suffered greatly because of the Pilgrims and the Puritans coming to the New World for a new life and freedom of religion. It is very sad that non of this is really taught in school when I was a child of the 60' & & 70's and I surely hope that has changed today with my son of today in 2014.. Yes I have age myself! ] that the Pilgrims came to America aboard the Mayflower in search of religious freedom in 1620. The Puritans soon followed them, for the same reason. Ever since these religious dissidents arrived at their shining 'City upon a Hill' as their governor John Winthrop had called it, Millions from around the world have done the same - coming to America where they found a welcome melting pot in which everyone was free to practice his/her own faith. So I thought I would start with Verizon 1. Since most are familiar with that version... Well the problem with the first version of Americans

We never really had images of this kind
and this is the Truth of what truly what
happen in the First True pilgrims later on
not to long after they landed  most of the
Native American Indians were slaves

First Pilgrims is its too tidy of an American Myth- You could say... One could say the true story of the religion freedom of America's past is quite awkward, embarrassing and very much a bloodily tale that most first,secondary and high-school text books would rather leave out. From what I discovered in this first version is that the earliest arrivals of the Europeans onto the New World/Americans shorelines, it seems that the quest for free religion had often been a cudgel, used to discriminate and even suppress anyone to get it. Often killing the foreigners as they were called 'unbelievers'. This of course meant the Native American Indians who were already there and had made their home in the new world for thousands of years way before the white man came in to take it all way!!! Yes there is more! to this Tale! Yet, not so nice tale of the First True Pilgrims~ While it is true that the vast majority of the early European generation traveled across the Atlantic ocean were Christian Americans, they all would pitched battles between various Protestant and Catholics Churches that were popping up every where. Its seemed to be an explosion of Religion Rights or Christian Nation. On who was going to win! We must first have a look over the history encounter between the Europeans in the future people of the United States or the colonies at the times. This was established by an French Protestant in 1564 at Fort Caroline near Jacksonville, Florida at the time.  This French Man had set sail, more than a half a century before the Mayflower had set sail, and the French Protestant and his  pilgrims had also had come to America in search of Religious freedom as well. Besides the

And old photo with Native Indians
and the White Man

Europeans and the French that have come upon the Native Americans Land there were also the Spanish that had their own ideas in 1565.  They established a base at St. Augustine and proceeded to wipe out the Fort Caroline colony - Basically the French Protestant Fort near Jacksonville , Florida. In doing so The Spanish Commander - Pedro Menendez de Aviles had wrote to the Spanish King Philip ll that he had 'hanged' all those they had found at the 'Fort Caroline' Why? because ... they were scattering the Lutheran doctrine religion within those Provinces'.  Here' the sad but truth of the Beginnings of the "First True Pilgirms'.  When there was hundreds of survivors from a shipwreck French Fleet that happened to wash up on the beaches of Florida in 1565, well Menendez de Aviles and his men put them all the dead or as they called in Spanish ' Matanzas' the 'Slaughters'.  So basically what I am saying the first encounters between the Europeans Christians in the New World American was really a blood bath. And that is why we never saw or read any of this in our history books as children as far back as the 60's ... As I could vouch for that being a child of the 60's.  Well now about the arrival of the Pilgrims and the Puritans from England in the early 1600's which again was a fight for their religious rights turned into a blood bathe of the American Indians due to the fact the Europeans wanted more than just Religion - They wanted power, over  ALL THE NEW

The Tribes of all the Indians before the white man

LAND AND EVERYONE OR THING IN IT! Us like some fifty years before when another  Mayflower had left port, with band of French Colonists to the New World . And you know how that turned out! Basically I am trying to show you the other side of the story of the Pilgrims/Puritans, French and Spanish that all came to the New World in hope's for a new chance for freedom in the since of every word. It seems mostly it was freedom of Religion, but again it was much more than that for all parties. The thing about it is that I learn and I have a little more to tell you, is that I never learned any of this nasty cruel stuff in school.. I learned this 30years later when I decided to do a blog.. Interesting Eh! Well back to the tale... 
The fact that the Pilgrims-Puritans-French and Spanish were all the the greediest predator that the Indian Man would ever have to face: the White Man...These people came upon their land their territory and cause so much pain and blood shed that it goes into the 21century...

Looking it from a different view the Indian man- who is a hunter and warrior , while the women take care of the children, cultivate and harvest all the crops and grounded grains for the making of flour and maintain the tents their living quarters. In bison hunting tribes, the women will help in the cutting of the huge animals and bring the meat into the camps, then it well be process for consumption later. The Apaches Tribes it seems that even if the men help in the agriculture duties, the women still know best in just duties, with all the required works, prays and other duties. Apache Women will also mount and dismount all the tents , which are usually used for two years. The Indian woman is respected and has many rights even today in some tribes like the Hopi Indian is the owner of all the material goods.

This show the area's where the Indians
Culture the land over the New World

At the beginning, when the European colonists came to the new world, the American Indians at first did collaborated with them in the Northwestern area of the US. Then in Jamestown, Virginia , the first British settlement in American was built with the help of the Powhatan Indians. It seems that without the help of the Powhatan Indians, the first English people in the New World would have not been able to made through the tough cold winters of 1607 to 1608.  Like the pilgrim colony of Plymouth, Massachusetts was established only with the help of the Wampanoag Indians. These Wampanoag Indians had showed the immigrants how to cultivate the land so they could make their own food and gardens...If they hadn't have done that the immigrants probably would have starved. Well so far things are looking good but not for long.. because with the massive immigration of people from Europe, France and Spain and the methods of land cultivating generated tension with the American Indians. Why? Well the Native Indians would hunted deer, wild turkey, water birds, fish, and gather sea food too. However the colonist started to mow the grass, for feeding cattle and horses, while pigs destroyed clam reserves. And I am sure there were other cultivating farming and hunting problems that the Indians and the colonists didn't see eye to eye. Basically in a nut shell the white man was changing the entree environment in just a matter of years, which the Indians way of live has been for over thousands of years.. And this way just didn't work for the Indian way of life . So this is when the huge problem began...

The Native American Indians fighting with
the New Colonies in the American Independence War

To the Indians the horse was the way of life and very important to their lifestyle. Note it seems that the animals might have been introduce by the Europeans during the 17th century / also Spaniards had also introduced the horse into the now southwestern. The American Indians used could train the horses into a skilled no-saddle horseman, unlike the white man. This help them greatly in hunting the bison's easier and nomad tribes could attack much easier in neighboring settlement tribes too. This of happened within their own network of lifestyle of pillaging them for women and slaves. However, it was nothing compared to what the white-man had in store for them- hint the sarcasm.
 This is the beginning of just one of the Millions of American Indians that were killed and taken from the only home they every knew...By the 17th century about 30,000 Narragansett Indians lived in Massachusetts. Their Chief Miantonomo had sniffed out the danger for his tribe. It seems that the Chief Miantomomo was right because in 1642 it was proposed to the Mohawk Indians  the information of an resistance alliance. However, it seems that the Chief Miantonomo had failed to do to so and the following year there was war between the Narragansett tribe and the Mohawk tribe . And during the war the Chief Miantonomo was captured and killed. I found this little information about the two tribes and I hope I got the info correct.. I felt it was important to put some of their history in the post good or bad because they are truly the first American in my eyes...  You see the Europeans took advantage of the conflict between the different tribes. It seems that during any war that happened on the new World like that of the French-English wars in North America, there were several tribes involved. However it seems that the American Indians would always paid the most price rather than the Europeans. It get even worst from here...

Indian Child
with Small Pox's

The Iroquois Tribes - And Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga and the Seneca Tribes all fought in the British side during the American Independence War. Amazing Eh! Well get this! After the war! All the Tribes all those men that fought beside as men were insulted and abandon at the in of the war. Get even worst! The USA TAKES THEIR TERRITORY THEIR HOME!  It seems those who fought on the other side lost. Basically the American Native Indians have at this point lost their country and home that they have know for over thousands of year. Taken from them by either negotiations, gun point, even if they had not been conquered in the war. All their land was reduced to very small reservations starting in New York State. Well the story just get scary the more discover. Bribery of Alcohol and other thing continued. The American Indians didn' understand why the white man was doing all of this when they lived in harmony with the nature without disturbing the nature of balance.
Then the fear came from the Europeans thinking that the Indians would take violence like scalping them. Stupid stuff.So that's when the Europeans gave them gifts but these were evil gifts. Ones to wipe out the entree race basically.. This is when their enemy overwhelmed them with the greatest weaponry of all. They would give the Indians blankets but they were tainted
with smallpox's.. The Europeans were resistance to the smallpox but the Indians had never been exposed to any type of dieaece.. Once A smallpox epidemic started it went from village to village and so on... It hit the Mandan, Hidatsa, Assiniboin, Arikara, Sioux and Blackfoot too

Into the Civil War it continued to the point that Millions of American Indians lost their home.. and were put on reservations .. I could go on further but I think I have made my point

So Who was the First True Pilgrims? 

Well I will let you think on this one.. I thought to end this post 

to leave you with some beautiful photos of the American Indians

Are First True American!

Celtic Mermaid

Celtic Mermaid~

Celtic Mermaid
Seal-People Selkies
of the Shetland Islands
of Scotland 

For this post I thought I would bring, you all my dear friends & Follower into the land of the Shetland Islands. Where it tells of many legends of the Mermaids. In these Shetland Island there is an common legend story with such details within the story, that it even matches the locations too. In these stories of the Shetland Islands often more than not the actual name are given to the people and places that are involved within the stories. Sometimes even the date of these stories were firmly attached to these stories of an particular location of the Islands. These would make the legends more of truth. The Story of the Celtic Mermaid starts on a fine summer evening on the Shetland Islands of Scotland. It seems that there was someone who inhabitant the Islands, just happened to be walking along the sandy shoreline by the small bay. The moon that night had risen and it was full. So by its light the young man could see a great distance before him on the Shetland islands of Scotland. As he approach a bit closer he so before him a number of sea-people who were dancing on the smooth white sand. What the young man found most interesting, was what was near the ground by the dancing Sea-people. 
Just a few feet away he saw lying in the sand several seal-skins. Then it came to him that these must be the ancient Seal-People that the Call 'Selkies' in the Celtic Mythology of the Shetland Islands. He was very exited that he actually was in the misted of an beautiful Celtic Mythology Creatures. As the Young man got closer to the dancers, they all stopped dancing and raced for their seal-skins. Putting them on and then plunging into the sea into the form of Seals. However in the confusion there was one seal-skin that was left behind, which was lying at the young mans feet. Well to the to the young Seal-Selkie who was looking for it all night it was a nightmare, because this young man decided to snatch up the Seal-skin and ran to his home and hid it. Then he returned to the shore, and of course he would met up with the fairest and most beautiful maiden that he had ever seen. The young maiden had been waking up and down, the sea shore all night looking for her loss seal-skin robe. Moaning over the lost of it and the lost of never being able to rejoin her family and friends of the sea. She knew now that, she would have to remain in the world lit by the sun and never again be in the cool waters under the sea. So the Young man approached the maiden and tried to console her. She begged him to restore her dress, but the sight of her lovely face, more beautiful in tears had steeled his heart. Its is said that Mermaids are always beautiful, but never more so than in the Celtic world. So what this Young man told her is that it was impossible for her to return to the sea with her friends and family and that they would soon forget about her anyway. Finally he was able to convince the beautiful Celtic Mermaid/Selkie that she could never return to her home of the sea and that their family and Friends of the sea had soon forgotten all about her. When he had did that he asked her to marry him. All along he had hidden her Seal-skin away so that she would never leave him. The Young man then told her that it was impossible for her to return, and that her friends would soon forget all about her forever. So the Sea-maiden finding that she had no alternative and no where to live, she consented to become his wife. Their Marriage was easily arranged in Celtic Traditions and the couple lived together for many many years. Some have said even happy. During the time they were together the two had several children, however non had any signs of their mothers marine origins except for a thin web between their fingers and a bend of of their hands, like that fore paws of a seal. These  Characteristics to this day still remain in this family in Scotland to this day..from generation to generation.. And of course no one ever said anything about the Myth of the Celtic Mermaid...
The Shetlander of the Islands off of Scotland loved his beautiful wife, but the Celtic Mermaid never did return his affection during the entire marriage even do to the fact they had children too. She would often sneak out alone when everyone was asleep and would go with hast down to the lonely white sandy beach. Once she got there a large seal would always appear and the two would converse for hours til almost dawn in an unknown language. When it was time for her to return home from this nightly meetings with the unknown large Seal, she was very sad, thoughtful and grateful for the conversations. However, even with the many visits from the unknown large Seal late at night, according to the legend, many many years went by and the beautiful Celtic Mermaid/Selkie hopes of leaving the upper world had about vanished completely... But there is a happy ending to this tale. One day it seems that one to her children saves her mother from a life away from the sea. It seems the the child was playing behind a stack of corn  and found the hidden seal-skin that was tuck away all those years ago.

Once the child showed it to her mother and asked what it was - well you could probably only imagination the delight that the mother felt. It was like winning a prize. Once she had it in her hands she knew exactly what it was. Her eyes were glistening with delight because she knew at once that it was her own dress/seal-skin. She was finally free to return to her friends and family beneath the waves. However, there was one thing that did trouble her. She did love all her children and she was now about to leave them forever. After kissing and embracing them all several times. She took up the skin and headed down to the beach. It wasn't but a few minutes later when her husband came in and the children told him what had happened. Well the truth hurts and he knew that this day could very well happen. And if it did he would loose this beautiful Celtic Mermaid Wife~ So that whole evening flashed across his mind, the night  he spotted the women dancing in the moon light near the shoreline with all those Seal-Skins..As he ran down to the shoreline with all the speed, love and anxiety he could give into it. Knowing in his heart that he probably had already had lost her to the sea. But when the Shetlander arrived at the shore he was only time to see his wife take the form of a Seal and plunge into the sea. Remember that Large Seal that the Maiden would have long conversations with every night all those years on the shoreline in a different language?  Yes that Large Seal, with whom she used to converse with! well yes he was her Husband and congratulated her on her escape. However, before she vanished into the deep ocean with her husband of the sea - she turned around to her landed husband, who stood in despair, "Farewell  and may all good fortune atten you. I loved you while i was with you, but I will always love my first husband better.' So that is the ending of one Celtic Mermaid/Selkie and with this one which from what I understand many of the legends of the Celtic Mermaids/Selkies of the Shetland Islands in Scotland are true. I hope that you Enjoyed the legend. Hugs

Puritans- The Church of England-

Puritans-
The Church of England-

Family of Puritans 

I though I would do a few post this November On the history of the Puritans. In other post I am going to talk about the  Actually True story of quote' THANKSGIVING'. YOU might be surprised what i  found in my other post that will be coming too.. However, for this post I am going to get into the history of The Puritans.  First I thought I would explain the world Puritan or the Puritans. Not to many folks are that familiar with the the people so that a good place to start. The word 'Puritan was applied to a great many Protestant churches from the late 16th century and onward... However, the Puritans did not use the term themselves, only other folks would call them that. It seems that the Puritans were not satisfied with the Reformation of the Church of England, but the few that did remained within the Church of England, did advocate further reforms that were known as 'Non-separating Puritans'...
This group called the 'Non-separating Puritan's said to disagree among themselves about how much further the reformation of any of the Church of England did/or was if it was truly necessary at times. I found that the term 'Separatists' were folks during the 16th century who thought that the Church of England was corrupt to a point that all Christians should be separated from the 'Puritans' which at the time were called Separatists. In the 16th century the Separatists were a very strong group of Puritans that advocated the complete separation from the Church of England, Yet they had no particular Church title of their own. You see we are still in England haven't move yet to the new world...Note: Many of the Mayflower Pilgrims were referred to only as 'Separatists'. Kinda makes you wonder how many of the first to come on the Mayflower ships were either pilgrims or puritans Eh! Well we will see... Its seems when one
 looks on the current consensus among the historians, of the main leaders of both the non-separating Puritans and leaders of the Separatists, there was no way of truly properly

An Young Puritan woman

counting either sided being non-separating puritans or just pure Puritans.  Then In the year 1660 the separating of the Puritans from all others with the 1662 Uniformity Act which basically caused all Puritan clergy to leave all church's of England. They were then called "Dissenters' This movement that happened in 1662 changed the church rules radically at that time. and though it wasn't felt at the time but, it would be huge changes for the folks that were Puritans of New England.
The historical importance of Puritanism spans over a a decade in New England. It seems that there was even an Elizabethan Puritanism within the Elizabethan religious settlements too. However these failed to receive any of the royal approval. In this next part of my discussion I am going to cover Puritanism. Its seems that in 1603 a Puritan Manifesto was reform/ or  petition for their own English Church. It was called the Hampton Court Conference of 1604 in which four very prominent Puritan leaders were hard their teachings with other important religious leaders. The problem was the Puritans still opposed many of the Catholic summations that were required in the church rules of England, such as: the notably the Book of Common prayer, but also the use of non-secular vestments (cap and gown) during the church services, the sight of the Cross in baptism and kneeling to receive the Holy Communion, Although the Puritan movement was subjected to repression by some of the bishops both Elizabeth, James and other Bishops were more tolerant and in many places individuals ministers were able to omit disliked portions of the Book of Common Pray. During this period of the Puritans which was called the 'Semi-separatism or  Non-Separating Puritans and the Separations are one who had left the Church of England altogether were numbered in very few. Now were going into the History of the Puritans of 1649. It seems that the Puritan
movement in England was driven out over decades by emigration and inconsistent interpretations of Scripture and some political differences that surfaced at the time.  The more thru during the 1600's. Well at the time of the English

The Puritans 

I go into this post, the more I discover that its truly more about the struggles of the puritans than the Pilgrims and I am at a lost at what was the difference but I am understanding the hardships that the Puritans went
Restoration in 1660 the Savoy Conference as it was called then, this is when it was determine if there would be a new religious settlement for England and Wales for the Puritans.What I found in this new religious settlement that was for both England and Wales in 1660, were only minor changes within the 'Church of England' and it was all restored to its Pre-Civil-War constitution Laws under the Act of Uniformity in 1662. So all the Puritans found themselves sidelined once again. This was about an estimated 2500 Puritan clergy that left the Church of England' because of the 'Great Ejection of 1662'. of the Puritan people. its seems the more that I read and discover the more that the people of the faith of Puritans are being pulled back further and further away from any form of true Church of the own. At this point I found that the Puritans had divided themselves from all Christians of the Church of England/ And the

The Puritans in their own way
 of services of God

Puritans established their own separatist congregations of their form of church in the 1660 and 1670's. In my continue research and reading of the Puritans it seems that things continued to get more and more sticky if you will! There was a period it seems that even the Presbyterians could not come back to the  'Church of England', but this was a result of the puritans it was just because of all the here say going around on, who could do what in the Grand 'Chuch of England'quote on quote... It get worse for the Puritans, for it seems the Wigs as they were called in the day [British political officials],opposed the court religious policies and then argued that the Puritans should be allowed to worship only separately from the established 'Church of England'. The Whigs position on this ultimately prevailed when the Toleration Act of 1689 was passed in the wake of the Glorious Revolution in 1689. So what this all means to the Puritans that any Licenced Puritans Ministers and their

Book of Prayers

Church/Chapel under the term 'Nonconformist' could have their own Chapels and the terms 'Dissenter' which meant Puritans was finally lifted and replaced finally in the middle of the 18th century to Puritans after all those years. Now I will go into the personal beliefs of the Puritans- It seems to me that the Puritans so far have had a long fight for the personal freedom to believe and openly love their own Puritan beliefs. During the course of a hundred century's the puritans sought both individuality and corporate conformity to the teaching of the Bible, with the moral purity pursued both down to the smallest detail, as well as ecclesiastical purity to the highest level. They too believed that man existed for the glory of God and that his first concern in life was to do God's will and so to receive future happiness. As soon as there was the quote' the New Puritans, their 'New Policies of the Church Governance diverged from those remaining in the British Isles who were facing different issues at the times.
During the middle and late 1600's the Puritans and pilgrims/Christians both believed in demonic forces. However, the Puritan pastors undertook exorcisms for many demonic possession that they felt were in their church communities, in a few high-profile cases and

An Young Puritan Woman

they also believed in some allegations of witchcraft. I believe this is the dark days of of the women, children and some men of faultily accusing folks of witchcraft. And then there became the Dark Days of the hunt of innocent Women,men and children burned to a stalk. The famous   exorcism was of Thomas Darling and there were other possession cases that the Puritans pastors felt that had both possession and witchcraft in other local Puritans ministers in 1689 which I believe brought on the Salem witch trails of 1692-1693 Note in my opinion it could have gone on longer than those years stated. What I found to be very interesting besides the fact that some say that the Salem witch trials may have taken place in Massachusetts area, is the fact that unknown to most, as their religious beliefs limit in their lives the Puritans turn to witchcraft around this time of the Salem witch trails, curious Eh! Now I don't know when? how long? and all the details which were not available but it was interesting reading...
The Puritans as the move into the 17th and 18th century's they have been place into more of an European reform kinda belief about interpretation of the Bible's prophecy...
It seems that the Puritans had very strong religious beliefs that were directed onto their culture and lifestyles. Education was essential to the Puritans so that they all could read the Pray books and bible themselves. They also use musical instrument in their religious services . However, the music only type of music that could be used in the church service was anything with the book of psalms. Most organs were commonly damaged or destroyed in the Civil war of 1664, so other means of instruments were used. Family of the Puritans - well they are like every other family in the early 1660's ... The Puritans place family at the center of their societies as an organization to facilitate their devotion to God. Apparently the puritans base their family lifestyle on the biblical portray of Adam and Eve, they believe that marriage represents one of the most fundamental human relationships rooted in procreation, love and most importantly salvation. According to the Puritans the husbands are the spiritual heads of

An Traditional Puritan home

the household [Not surprising!] while the women were to demonstrate religious piety and obedience under the Male's authority [Yikes!!!] Furthermore, the marriage is to represent not only the relationship between husband and wife, but the relationship between the spouses and God.. OK let me see if I can explain this.. The Puritans husbands/male in the family also will commanded authority throughout the family and direct the pray too. The wife/female in the relationship to her husband and to God was marked by submissiveness and humility.
 [AGAIN YIKES YIKES!!!!].OK Its just not my cup of tea... Here is a quote that I found that the family of a tradition Puritan family would be happy with Quote' " together for a time as copartners in grace here, that they may reigne together forever as coheires in glory hereafter.''
Anyway, There's More Much,Much, More.... The paradox by the female inferiority in the public sphere and the spiritual equality of men and women in marriage, then gave way to the informal authority of woman concerning matters of the home and childrearing. With the consent of their husbands, the Puritan wives can make important decisions concerning the labour of their children, property and the management of inns and taverns owned by their husbands. Humm... For the Puritans, it seems to me that motherhood represents the most significant aspect of the females identity.  The Puritan mothers laboured for their children's rights, salvation, connecting with women matters of religion and morality too. It seems that to

This is the Puritans First Thanksgiving in the New World

the Puritans all children that are born into this world are stain of sin. And the only way a child can redeemed his/her sin is through religious education, obedience and the Church. It seems the Girls carry an additional burden of sin - of Eves corruption and they have to be separated from the adolescence boys. Basically they are prepared just like their parents once were.. and the history of the Puritans goes on...
Well now we get to the part when the Puritans leave for the new world at a large-scale some have said. the Puritan settlements emigration started the move across the Atlantic by 1641 with about 21,000 settlers. Most could speak the popular English language. However, not all consist or the original colonists since many returned to England shorty after arriving the New world. In the short of it more than 16million of the puritans descendants ended up making their new life on the new world continent, which was called ' the Great Migration'. It seems the rapid growth of the New Colonies grew to about 700,000 by the late 1790 and was almost entirely

These were the kinda home they would
live in....

due to the high birth rate and lower death rate per year. Now we come to the Plymouth Colony of the Puritans of the New World - and the disapproved of Christmas celebrations as did some other Protestant churches of the time did too. This was even outlawed in Boston from 1659 no Christmas! The ban of now Christmas celebrations wasn't revoked until the year 1681 by a gentleman by the name Sir Edmund Andros - He also revoked a Puritan ban on festivities on Saturday nights too. Nevertheless, it was not until the mid 1900's that the celebration of Christmas became a fashionable thing in the Boston area. When it happened in Boston it happen to all the other colonies too. Many of the other Secular Entertainment kinds of thing that might have been on moral ground , such as games of chance, maypoles and drama -plays were also now open...However, the alcohol was not an open thing.. this was still banned and if you follow your history it took a long time for it to become lifted..

As far as the Puritans go they are most known for making their home in Massachusetts Bay. They were also the most active of the New England  Persecutors of the Quakers, and the persecuting spirit that was shared by the Plymouth Colony and the colonies along the Connecticut river. The Puritans/Quakers had their taunted past that wont' go away, but as they enter the 20th Century It is truly hard for me to find what the Puritans feel today.. Or as some saw what is Puritanism? Since I am not the only thing that I could find to end this post on a good note I did find this ...it is more like a poem of sorts.

'Most Americans know the terms Puritans and Pilgrims. Most don’t know that these are two different groups.

Puritans were English Protestants in the late 16th century who wanted their church, the Anglican church, to follow the Calvinist model more closely and give up the remnants of Catholicism still present in Anglicanism.

During the reign of Elizabeth I, the Puritans consistently pushed their agenda in Parliament and in their local towns. Puritans would often remove themselves from their assigned parish church to go hear sermons from a Puritan minister in another town’s church. This was illegal at the time. In an effort to stop the wild pendulum swings in her kingdom from extreme protestantism to Catholic resurgence and back again, Elizabeth refused to legitimize the Puritan agenda. She did not prosecute them severely, but she did not rescind the laws making their activities illegal.

Their sense of being persecuted for their faith gave the Puritans a lot of energy. They developed a complete system for defining and realizing salvation that I can’t go into in a short post here. But they also split.

Puritans began as a group within the Anglican church that wanted to purify it of lingering Catholic influences. But some Puritans lost faith in the Anglican church. Deciding it could never be purified, they abandoned it, separating themselves from it. These became known as Separatists. The majority of Puritans, who remained within the Anglican church, were known as nonseparating Puritans. The two groups grew increasingly hostile as the 17th century wore on.

It was the Separatists who took the Mayflower for America. Forced to leave England because it was treason to leave the Anglican church, small groups of Separatists left for Holland and other Protestant European countries. The group that we know as the Pilgrims went to Leiden in Holland. Americans often learn that they decided not to stay there because their children were becoming Dutch, but this is not true. They left because Holland’s truce with Catholic Spain was near its end, and the Protestant Separatists would have been wiped out if Spain had taken control once again of Holland.

So the Separatists received permission from the English government to go to America. Why? They were funded by financiers in London, and the crown figured that if the colonists made a go of it, the crown would seize the colony and enjoy the profits. The religion of the colonists was secondary to the financial potential they represented.

Not all the people on board the Mayflower were Separatists. Stories of the horrors suffered by colonists at Jamestown, in Virginia, were well-circulated in England. The feeling in England was that the Jamestown colonists had gone to America grossly unprepared. The Separatists vowed not to repeat those colonists’ mistakes. They recruited tradespeople from London whose talents would be essential to building a new society—carpenters, blacksmiths, etc.

Those recruits were not Puritans or Separatists. They were Anglicans. But mostly, they were people who didn’t really think about religion too much, who just wanted a chance to go to America. The Separatists, then, were in the minority as the Mayflower set sail. Fights between the two groups broke out almost immediately. The Separatists got on the others’ nerves with their religion, which permeated all aspects of their lives, and the Anglicans got on the Separatists’ nerves with their deliberate sacrilege and mockery of religion. When they landed in America, the Separatists had a hard time keeping control of the colony from the majority.

Now, the nonseparating Puritans in England came under real persecution starting in 1630, with the election of Archbishop Laud, who dedicated himself to wiping Puritanism out and bringing the Anglican church as far back toward Catholicism as he could. Tens of thousands of Puritans would emigrate to Massachusetts in the 1630s.  But they didn’t go to Plymouth. They weren’t about to miss their chance to found an untrammeled, unchallenged, all-powerful Puritan state by moving in with a bunch of crazy Separatists and, worse yet, blasphemous, Catholic-tinged Anglicans.

The Puritans instead founded Boston, north of Plymouth. And as the Puritan colony centered there—the Massachusetts Bay Colony—grew, it quickly outstripped Plymouth. Bay colonists ruthlessly confiscated land, including lands owned by Plymouth. By the 1640s, Plymouth was reduced to a backwater, and its Separatist quality was fairly diluted, even as the Puritanism of the Bay Colony grew and strengthened'.
