The "Colonial" Puritans failed to convert the Indians because ultimately, they failed. Their harsh intolerance, along with other poor decision making (Salem Witch Trials) led to their own destruction.
The Puritans failed to convert the Native Americans due to cultural differences, lack of mutual understanding, and conflicting beliefs. The Native Americans already had their own spiritual beliefs and traditions which made it challenging for the Puritans to convert them to Christianity. Additionally, the Puritans often used coercive and aggressive tactics which further alienated the Native Americans.
The mission Indians for Mission Santa Clara de Asis were primarily the Ohlone people, who were indigenous to the region. They were brought to the mission by Spanish missionaries to convert them to Christianity and to work on the mission's agricultural projects.
The Puritans who rebelled against the settlement were led by Nathaniel Bacon in the 1676 rebellion known as Bacon's Rebellion. They were unhappy with the colonial government's policies and lack of protection against Native American attacks. The rebellion resulted in the burning of Jamestown and ultimately failed, but it highlighted social and economic tensions in the colony.
Separatist Puritans believed in completely separating from the Church of England and forming their own independent congregations. Non-separatist Puritans, on the other hand, wanted to reform the Church of England from within. Ultimately, the Pilgrims who settled in Plymouth were Separatist Puritans, while the Puritans who settled in Massachusetts Bay Colony were mostly non-separatists.
