How were antebellum era utopian experiments similar to the colonial-era puritan settlers vision of plymouth and massachusetts bay

During the 19th century, there was a thirst for "individual improvement" in the United States. The idea that a society could be completely reorganized and perfected gained traction during this time period. This was the idea that gave rise to utopian communities.

These were originally created for religious purposes, just like the Puritan-era colonies of Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay. Some examples of these utopian communities were the Rappites and the Shakers. These followed many values that were common in Puritan communities, such as simplicity, celibacy, and common labour and reward.

Eventually, the communities came to reflect social improvement rather than religious purity. New communities emphasized the absence of religious dogma, political equality, cooperation, intellectual and moral education and social harmony.
