Although New England would develop into a collection of colonies that were far removed from early utopian notions of communal living, the basic principles of communitarianism and contribution laid down by the original settlers would leave a lasting legacy. Indeed, Tocqueville argues that the Puritan communities of New England developed the essential principles of modern democratic society, having a profound influence on the other Anglo-American colonies and spreading their message across the world:

The civilization of New England has been like a beacon lit upon a hill, which, after it has diffused its warmth immediately around it, also tinges the distant horizon with its glow.

(Tocqueville, Democracy in America, Volume I, Chapter 2)
