Unlike the original Pilgrims with whom they are often confused, the Puritans did not come to America to "worship as they pleased." They were a powerful minority in England, worshiping pretty much as they pleased there.
But in the 1620s, leaders of the English state and church grew increasingly unsympathetic to Puritan demands.
For example, in 1630 a man was sentenced to life imprisonment, had his property confiscated, his nose slit, an ear cut off, and his forehead branded "S.S." (sower of sedition).

 New Ice-Core Evidence Challenges the 1620s age for the Santorini (Minoan) Eruption   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
Composition of this glass does not match the composition of glass from the Santorini eruption, thus severely challenging the 1620s age for the eruption.
These findings suggest that an eruption not documented in the geological record is responsible for the many climate-proxy signals in the late 1620s.
Although these findings do not unequivocally discount the 1620s age, we recommend that 1628/1627 no longer be held as the "definitive" age for the Santorini eruption.

A particular attention will be paid to the evolution of these discourses after 9/11 and their position on such issues as women, revivalism, the West, and the United States.
