c) Puritans

The Puritans, a religious group seeking to purify the Church of England, left Massachusetts due to religious disagreements and later established Hartford, Connecticut, in 1636. Led by Thomas Hooker, the group sought to create a community with a more strict adherence to their religious beliefs. Their migration and the establishment of Connecticut reflect the broader theme of religious and ideological diversity among the early American colonies, as groups sought to practice their beliefs freely.
