John Winthrop, Founder Of Puritanism Term Paper

The Puritan colonies survived, due in large part to Winthrop's efforts at both instilling this culture of discipline, and in addressing any growing factionalism within the ranks. Such actions have indeed been a double-edged sword, for they planted the seeds for suffering, they also ensured that the colony endured and later, flourished. In this way, Winthrop played a largely forgotten role in the founding of this country.
