Answer:

establishing a colony based on religious principles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Puritans were a very religious society and had all their constituents, concepts, traditions, activities and skills focused on religion and the worship of the Christian God. As they were persecuted and prevented from establishing the religious principles that they defended in England, they decided to immigrate to America, where they would establish a Puritan colony totally focused on religious principles, where they could usurp them without suffering persecution and reprisals.
