Pilgrims and Puritans: Who really shaped Thanksgiving?
Wondering the difference between Pilgrims and Puritans? Many New Englanders know the story of the first Thanksgiving in Plymouth , but with both the Pilgrims and Puritans establishing colonies in Massachusetts, it can be easy to mix up which group the holiday originated with. Here's what to know about the key differences between the Pilgrims and the Puritans. Puritans vs. Pilgrims After King Henry VIII declared himself head of the new Church of England in 1534, the Puritans emerged as a group of people who wanted to return to practicing religion in the way early Christians did.
