Talk:Puritan migration to New England (1620–1640)

Too simple
Like much under the category of "US" history, this article is far too simplistic and conforms to views and nationalistic idealism of a modern US which completely disregards the views, ethics and idealism of these ENGLISH settlers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.50.220.218 (talk) 17:43, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

Article Issues
There are numerous issues with this article:


 * Referring bluntly to "Puritans" is really no good. There were different non-conforming or anti-Laudian views.
 * Obviously the migration was affected by religious policy under James I, but the matter neither starts nor ends under him.
 * The term "Great Migration" needs to be attributed.
 * It was not a one-way migration at all - there were plenty of people who left England and then returned at a later point.

 * In a general sense, some of the links to sources no longer exist or are not included W.C Smithson (talk) 14:27, 2 November 2017 (UTC)


 * I have given the article a thorough rewrite and expansion, and moved it. I feel that it now is more neutral and acceptable. Charles Matthews (talk) 09:13, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Move
This article title is too ambiguous and not recognizable per WP:NAME, suggest moving it to Puritan migration to New England (1620–1640). 64.85.221.15 (talk) 18:26, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Change the name of the article to Puritan migration to New England (1630-40)
As far as I know, Puritans settled themselves in 1630. https://www.britannica.com/place/Massachusetts-Bay-Colony Those who came in 1620 were Pilgrims. Cristian.nt (talk) 01:30, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
 * The Pilgrims were Puritans, however. Technically, the terms Puritan migration and Great Migration are generally used to refer to the 1630 period, and generally do not include the Pilgrims settling Plymouth Plantation. However, the article begins with the Pilgrims and moves into the later time period, so the title should probably continue to reflect that. —Dilidor (talk) 13:51, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
