While the format and style of writing regarding the Puritans was not the most exciting, this does not draw completely from the amazing achievements that they accomplished or the courage that they exhibited. The Puritans crossed an ocean and started an entirely new life in a place they knew not much or nothing about. They faced issues like starvation and constant attacks by the Native Americans. However, they stood strong as much as they could. They valued their faith and religion steadfastly. Their entire lives were devoted to God and they worked hard to live an unsinful life. This is an admirable trait. They were willing to fight and face huge challenges to obtain religious rights. The Puritans had a hard start in the New World without much advancement in the beginning. Before we began studying the Puritans in history class, I had an idea in my head that they had a very successful first few years which is why our country seems to admire them. However, this was not exactly the case. They faced huge challenges and essentially ended up successful.
