Early American Literature reflects mostly on nature. Native Americans told myths and legends about how they lived in harmony with both elements and nature. When the first settlers arrived to the New World they feared nature and most of their work reflected on how the trees and the shadows were evil forces and should always be feared.

Puritanism was a religious reform movement that arose within the Church of England in the late sixteenth century. Under siege from church and crown, it sent an offshoot in the third and fourth decades of the seventeenth century to the northern English colonies in the New World.It was a migration that laid the foundation for the religious, intellectual, and social order of New England. Puritanism, however, was not only a historically specific phenomenon coincident with the founding of New England; it was also a way of being in the world.
