The Puritans main value was religion. They lived their entire lives focused on doing good in God's eyes. They also highly valued hard work and family, though divorce was more common than in Europe. Puritans would most likely be taken aback by how little God has to do with everyday things. Not saying God does not have a heavy presence in Modern America, but Puritans' world revolved around God. I believe Puritans would also not think to kindly of America's "work hard relax harder" mindset. Puritans thought you could never work too much, whereas many Americans do not carry that same way of mind.
