Article Issues

There are numerous issues with this article:

Referring bluntly to "Puritans" is really no good. There were different non-conforming or anti-Laudian views.
Obviously the migration was affected by religious policy under James I, but the matter neither starts nor ends under him.
The term "Great Migration" needs to be attributed.
It was not a one-way migration at all - there were plenty of people who left England and then returned at a later point.

I have given the article a thorough rewrite and expansion, and moved it. I feel that it now is more neutral and acceptable. Charles Matthews (talk) 09:13, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Move

This article title is too ambiguous and not recognizable per WP:NAME, suggest moving it to Puritan migration to New England (1620–1640). 64.85.221.15 (talk) 18:26, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
