1. The Native Americans in North America lived in groups called tribes, each tribe had their own culture and their way of surviving. Some of them were hunters others were farmers, they also spoke different languages and had their own religious beliefs, many tribes shared the same beliefs others did not.
The English-Europeans had a different society, they did not live in groups, they shared the same language - English - and shared the same beliefs - Christianity -. Different from Native Americans Europeans shared the same social codes - their society was divided by the concept of money and faith.
This is the most important difference between Native Americans and English-Europeans, Native Americans did not have the concept of money and profit. They only had the concept of trade and some of them did not even had a trade system since many lived in tribes.
2. American Puritanism was originated from the reform movement in the Church of England, many of the Puritans fled to America because of religious persecution, they questioned the Catholic rituals that the Church of England continued to practice.
Puritans influenced American culture and society because Puritanism is more than religion it is a philosophy of life and living values.
First, Puritanism influenced American individualism, Puritanism values self-reliance, privacy and mutual respect.
Puritanism also influenced American democracy because they believed that God created all men equally and that all men deserve natural rights, which also influenced the Declaration of Independence.
Puritanism also pushed America to Manifest Destiny by creating a sense of mission to spread social justice and liberty across the world, this belief was imported from the Bible.
