We will talk about puritanism. It is page 4 in the book.
Puritanism finished at the end of 17th century. James Town was a male colony. For that reason homosexualism was illegal. There was capital punishmet in the James Town. Some of the colonists escaped to Indians, because they had enough food and women.
In 1619, Virginia Company sent a ship with women. For the first time women were in James Town. Who gave more tobaccos got the women.
In 1620 Dutch ship, whose name is Jesus, landed African slaves. Beginning of the slavery in James Town is 1620.
In 1649, King Charles the I was killed by Oliver Cromwell.
1660 : Restoration of the Stuarts to the throne.
The Puritans were called ´Puritans` by their enemies. They were calling themselves saints among each other. Puritans bleieve in purification in the tastements and in the old testament. That is why, they are called puritans.
18th Century
1714: House of the Hannover. (Since 1917 Windsor).
George I could not speak English. He could speak German. Prime Minister was established, because the King could not speak English.
After George I, George II and then George III come successively.
A lot of Puritans lost their property in the UK. That is why they left the UK.

Suddenly the teacher began to speak about calvinists. The founder of Calvinism, who is John Calvin, lived between 1509 and 1564.
Calvinists: Predestination of the elect. Teacher spoke about calvinits, because calvinits in England eventually became known as puritans, and migrated to Plymouth colony in 1620. For more information which will be very useful for you please click here
In Puritanism you watch. If someone is drunken, then he cannot be a saint. There is a social mechanism of excluding suspicious people. It affected the US politics. It is US. We are elected by the God.
In Puritanism, when a puritan has an experience he should speak to the others. Hey Jesus spoke to me. The members of that belief are saints, and others against them are strangers.
Puritans left Holland in 1620, because their kids were learning Dutch.
They were in Leyden in Holland. They could not go to southern Virginia as they left Holland, because in such a case, women would be sold as slaves. Remember that in James Town colony there were no women. Who gave more tobacco could take the women. They had to go to New Virginia, to New England.
Second reason why Puritans left Holland was the Spainish attacks against Holland. In 1621 Spaniards got southern Holland and catholisized it.It is called Belgium today. Belgium got his independence from Holland in 1830, but the seperation starts in 1621 by the Spanish invasion.
