Why were Quakers persecuted in new England?
Quakers were persecuted in New England primarily because their beliefs and practices challenged the established Puritan religious order. They rejected formal church structures, refused to pay taxes to the church, and promoted a direct personal experience of God, which was seen as a threat to the Puritan community's authority. Additionally, their pacifism and opposition to slavery were in stark contrast to the prevailing norms, leading to punitive measures, including imprisonment, fines, and even execution for some Quakers. Ultimately, their commitment to religious freedom and equality clashed with the rigid societal expectations of the time.

How did most New England Puritans react to Quakers?
Most New England Puritans viewed Quakers with suspicion and hostility due to their radical beliefs and practices, which challenged the established religious order. Quakers emphasized personal revelation and inner light, rejecting formal worship and church hierarchy, which directly contradicted Puritan ideals. As a result, Puritans often persecuted Quakers, subjecting them to fines, imprisonment, and even harsher punishments to suppress their influence and maintain religious conformity in the community.
