The Puritans brought their work ethic with them from England when they settled in the American colonies.

Their values, which center around hard work and success in business, are collectively called the “Protestant Work Ethic.”

Their set of values, which historians call the “Protestant Work Ethic,” helped form the basis of capitalist society and culture in America.

Their values include success in business, hard work, and personal fulfillment through work, each of which, to them, is a way of serving their God.

The leaders of the Church of England, however, did not agree with the Puritans’ ideas.

They wanted to “purify” the Church by removing any remaining Catholic ideas or traditions.

This occurred in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, when Europe experienced many religious and social changes.

The Church of England was founded in 1534 when King Henry VIII decided to break away from the Catholic Church.

Those values stress the importance and benefits, both for oneself and for society, of hard work.

The ideals of hard work and owning a business are central to the success of the American economy.

Even though most Americans today do not consider themselves Puritans, many do still follow the Protestant Work Ethic.

Our ideas about capitalism, commerce, and an individual’s contribution to society would not be the same without the Puritan model.
