Do you need to capitalize English Separatist?

Whether or not to capitalize "English Separatist" depends on the context. Here's a breakdown:

Capitalize when it's a proper noun:

* If referring to a specific group with a defined name: For example, "The English Separatists who sailed on the Mayflower" would be capitalized because it's referring to a specific historical group.

* If it's used as a formal title: Similar to "the Democratic Party," "English Separatist" could be capitalized when used as a formal title or designation.

Don't capitalize when it's a general term:

* When describing the concept of separation from England: For instance, "Many people became English Separatists during the 17th century."

* When referring to a generic individual: "He was an English Separatist who believed in religious freedom."

In short:

* Capitalize when referring to a specific group or as a formal title.

* Don't capitalize when describing a concept or referring to individuals generally.

Always consider the context and use your best judgment.
