As we will see, New England becomes hostile and the antithesis to a lot of the things that became a part of the culture of Virginia: New Englanders were all about public education, they were against a landed aristocracy and they were highly moralistic. Their original purpose was totally different as well. Where Virginia was a military outpost turned boomtown, New England was established to not just recreate English life in the New World, but to establish a brand new Utopia based on their version of Christian principles. Indeed, the Puritans who came to the new world in 1620 saw the New World as a chance to create a “City on a Hill,” that would serve as a model for the rest of the world.
