The Puritans created a deeply religious, socially tight-knit, and politically innovative culture that is still present within the modern United States. The Puritan migration to New England was marked in its effects in the two decades from 1620 to 1640, after which it declined sharply for a while. The term Great Migration usually refers to the migration in this period of English settlers, primarily Puritans to Massachusetts and the warm islands of the West Indies, especially the sugar rich island of Barbados, 1630-40. They came in family groups, rather than as isolated individuals, and were motivated chiefly by a quest for freedom to practice their Puritan religion en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Migration_%28Puritan%29
