The '''Puritans''' were a [[Christian]] denomination that broke away from the [[Anglican Church]] in the 1600s. Their name refers to their belief that the Anglican Church should be purified by removing all [[Catholic]] influence. Persecuted in England, the Puritans founded [[Massachusetts Bay Colony]] in 1630. During the [[English Civil War]], Puritan leader [[Oliver Cromwell]] deposed the monarchy under [[Charles I]].
