 * Chapter 3
 * Protestant Reformation started with Martin Luther writing the 95 thesis, which declared the Bible the only source of God’s word, which led to other religions such as Calvinism to develop
 * Calvinism-the belief in predestination
 * Puritans-devoted Christians
 * Separatists- fled to Plymouth Rock on the Mayflower in 1620 because of how devoted they were to their Christian beliefs
 * Moderate Puritans landed there, were funded to do so by the Massachusetts Bay Company, set an example for haw other colonies should work
 * Only male members of the church could vote in the Congregated Church, Religious leaders held the most influence because they chose who could be members of the church

 * Soon began to spread to areas, such as Connecticut, and caused even more problems
 * 1643, colonies united to form the New England Confederation because England was occupied with civil wars, the colonies need help with Indians and the runway slaves
 * 1660, Charles II decided to take control, which led to more colony attention
