Likely a combination of generational changes (similar to how The South went from being part of The New Deal constituency to the conservative stronghold it is today), as well as a shift from social conservatism to a more social gospel type of Christianity during the 19th century, revolving around the abolition of slavery.

Anglicanism is historically way more conservative than Puritanism.
