Who were the Puritans?

Correct Answer: A group of Protestants who advocated strict and simple religious doctrine and worship

The Puritans were a group of Protestants who advocated strict and simple religious doctrine and worship. They believed the Church of England had not gone far enough in removing Catholic practices and ceremonies after the Reformation.

Puritanism grew strongest during the 16th and 17th centuries and was closely associated with the English Civil War. Many Puritans supported Oliver Cromwell and the Parliamentarian cause against King Charles I.
