The author, Henry William Elson's main purpose was to expand upon Puritan religion, culture, law, and its historical impact on the American colonies.

The "Puritan Laws and Character" was an extract taken from "History of the United States of America" written by Henry William Elson. The excerpt deals with the arrival and impact of the Puritans in the American colonies.

The Puritans are a group of disgruntled believers from Europe/England who had migrated to the American continent in search of religious freedom. They established the colony of New England. Their belief was that their Protestant faith was not accepted by the Church of England, which legalized Catholicism as the state religion. In that regard, the Puritans settled in America, freely following their Protestant religion away from the constraints of the Church of England. Elson's work delves into how this group of people and how their life revolves around their religion. But at the same time, he also delves into how there were strict 'rules' within the community regarding what can be worn, what can and cannot be done in public, etc. Added to that, the excerpt also delves into how the Puritans slowly impact the colonies of America in their rules and societal cultures.

Henry William Elson wrote the whole excerpt to talk about the Puritans and how they have become part of the American colonies. Thus, we can say that the author's main purpose in writing "Puritan Laws and Character" was to expand upon the laws, culture, religion, and historical impact of the Puritans on the American colonies.
