Answer: The Puritans were members of a religious reform movement known as Puritanism that arose within the Church of England in the late 16th century. They believed the Church of England was too similar to the Roman Catholic Church and should eliminate ceremonies and practices not rooted in the Bible.
Explanation:
The roots of Puritanism are to be found in the beginnings of the English Reformation. The name “Puritans” (they were sometimes called “precisionists”) was a term of contempt assigned to the movement by its enemies. Although the epithet first emerged in the 1560s, the movement began in the 1530s, when King Henry VIII repudiated papal authority and transformed the Church of Rome into a state Church of England. To Puritans, the Church of England retained too much of the liturgy and ritual of Roman Catholicism.
The Civil Rights Act of 1875 outlawed discrimination in public facilities, but it was declared unconstitutional in 1883 by the Supreme Court. In the 1896 case of Plessy v.s. Ferguson, the verdict that separate but equal was constitutional led to the creation of Jim Crow laws that segregated businesses and public places.
The New Woman was a feminist movement that began in the late 19th century. A "myth" was that a lot of things actually changed during this early time for women, but a "reality" is that the movement did great things for feminism in the future.
