Calvinism is the belief that from the second a person is born, they are stained with sin from their ancestors. This ideal made it impossible for a person to save themselves, instead they had to choose God to be saved. Even if a person chose God, it was not a guaranteed passage to heaven. They believed that God already had set intentions for every person when they were born. Nothing the believers could do would make them go to heaven, the only way to know if someone was going to heaven was to experience the grace of God overwhelmingly.

The Puritans were very devoted to God. They left England in order to start their own "city on the hill." They believed that certain people were chosen by God to be saved and others would go to hell. They never knew who was part of which group so they spent their lives trying to act pure for others to think they were one of the chosen ones. They believed the devil was present on Earth and began to think that every bad thing happened to them was the devil.

The Puritans had this idea to create a "city on the hill." They wanted others to look to view them as this pure and perfect town. Part of this city on the hill was creating a government ran by God rather than by people in power. They wanted the church to have a say in the government but they did not allow the government to have a say with the church. They started schools in order to train men to preach the word of God.
