Had it not been for Puritans, American Drama would have been different - discuss. 

The influence of the Puritans on American culture, including its drama, is significant and undeniable. Puritanism, a strict religious movement that sought to "purify" the Church of England in the 16th and 17th centuries, left a lasting imprint on American society, especially in New England, where many Puritans settled. Their rigid moral code, emphasis on religious devotion, and belief in the inherent sinfulness of humanity had far-reaching effects on the development of American drama, both in its themes and its form.

The Puritan's opposition to theater, rooted in their belief that the theater was a form of moral corruption, laid the groundwork for the long-standing tension between religious conservatism and artistic expression in American drama. While Puritan values did not outright prevent the development of theater in the United States, they created an environment in which drama had to navigate complex cultural and moral boundaries. This influence, paradoxically, helped shape American drama in ways that might not have occurred without Puritanism’s presence.

One of the primary ways that Puritanism impacted American drama was by instilling a strong moralistic undercurrent in many early plays. The Puritans viewed theater as a distraction from religious devotion and a platform for sinful behavior. They believed that the acting profession was inherently sinful because it encouraged deception and idleness.
