No, the Puritans were very different from the Amish.

Puritans were very forceful with their religions and severely punished those who broke their laws. They also held which hunts and burnings to 'root out the evil.'

The Amish are pacifists and do not force their religion upon others. The Amish also were Anabaptist, meaning they did not support the baptism of infants whereas the Puritans are believed to be the ancestors of modern baptists.

Some prime examples of Puritan belief and severity of punishment is clearly shown in Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter."
