The early modern period in Europe saw a massive amount of change. From wars and famines to plagues and religious upheaval, by the mid-1500s, people were convinced the apocalypse was nigh. Out of this chaos, a religious group known as the Puritans came about and decided they were the ones to guide the transition into God's time on earth. The first episode of season 1 discusses who the puritans were, how they came about, and how society viewed magic and witchcraft.
