Who is The Puritans from Democracy in America and what is their importance?

Puritans were members of religious groups that rejected the Reformation of the Church of England. The Puritans immigrated to America with the intent to form communities that were closer the original Christian doctrine and worship. Though their morals were very strict, they established communities in New England based on the concepts of liberty and equality. Though the influence of the Puritans as a political and cultural force had vanished by the time of his American tour, Tocqueville asserts that the Puritans' moral values and independence were the basis of the American democracy.
