They were killed or banished. Puritans were not very nice.
Jews were targeted by Nazis as weakening Germany. Many were imprisoned and executed. Another ethnic group involved in Nazi genocide were the Romani (gypsies).
Judaism was persecuted by the Soviet Union. Jews have been persecuted almost constantly.
Any breakaway group from any established religion will be persecuted by the mother religion. Reasons for the persecution of the Christians in the first century varied. In the first instance it was the Jewish religious leaders of the day who continued the antipathy shown to Jesus himself. As mentioned in the Gospels they were wanting to control things and not allow any other interpretation of the Old Testament and its message. Later when the Roman state began its persecution this was for somewhat different reasons. The Christians were a separate group and would not bow down to the many idols of the state religion. As these were linked directly to the state power they were seen as being disloyal and/or accused of being atheists even though they were in other ways good citizens.
Because they wanted to. Why does everybody question their motives?

No, William Penn was not part of the Puritans. He was a prominent member of the Religious Society of Friends, also known as Quakers. Penn founded the colony of Pennsylvania as a haven for Quakers and other persecuted religious groups.
