After the English Restoration, where the Puritans were eventually hated by the citizens, the Puritans went to the Massachusetts, one of the 13 colonies. The Puritans went there because they wanted to escape a religious persecution in Europe. Also, Massachusetts was a free land that the Puritans weren't going to be judged or have a religious persecution.

How did censorship originate in the Restoration period?

Censorship had become a fixture of society in the period before that, during the so-called English Commonwealth period under Oliver Cromwell.

During the Restoration period when Charles II had become king censorship was on the contrary relaxed, although it never completely disappeared.

Compare the way the English government treated the Puritans wih the way the Puritans treated Anne Hutchinson. How are they similar?

The English government treated the Puritans harshly, subjecting them to persecution for their religious beliefs and practices, which led to their migration to America seeking freedom. Similarly, the Puritans in New England, who sought to establish a community based on their interpretation of Christianity, turned on Anne Hutchinson for her dissenting views and teachings, viewing her as a threat to their societal norms. In both cases, the authorities prioritized conformity and control over individual beliefs, leading to exclusion and punishment for those who challenged established doctrines.
