It is ironic because it was one of the largest states and it actually was able to benefit from it.
It is somewhat ironic that the Puritans, who came here to seek religious tolerance, had very little for others. Jews were not welcome, nor were Catholics, and even fellow Protestants had to conform to a Puritan interpretation of scripture. That is one reason why Roger Williams (who was a Christian minister) had to leave Massachusetts; he believed in a separation of church and state, and this was not a view that the Puritans welcomed. Williams ultimately founded the state of Rhode Island, a far more tolerant state as far as allowing members of other religions to live and worship.
the irony behind the puritans intolerance stems from the fact that they left their country and sailed to America to escape intolerance of their religious beliefs. But when they get to America they persecute others just as they had been persecuted. So they're hypocrites....
No (that was ironic).
The puritans did not like the Native Americans. They had sort of a standoffish attitude towards them, because they did not put God first. Instead they put survival first. This caused problems in the puritan communities, and were not welcoming to the natives. This was ironic because the puritans left England because of the religious persecution in England. Then they are persecuting others for not being of their faith. The puritans never saw the native's way of living as a good idea. They thought if you live by the Bible and live for god, then if you are meant to survive, you will and if you die from malnutrition or other survival needs God wanted you to die.
