The puritans were strict about religion and life styles, where the Quakers lived a little more freely. The Quakers took in people's beliefs, while the Puritans booted out anybody who did not believe the same things they did.

If beliefs were different you were not a Puritan

Quakers were a society of friends. They always tried to keep peace, even at their own expense. For instance, William Penn, a Quaker bought land from Indians although England already gave it to him, he didn't want war with the Indians.

The Puritans came here to because they wanted to purify the Church. They saw the Church as too lax where they came from and wanted the freedom to worship as they saw fit, with all the high standards, rules, discipline, and so on. They had strict beliefs and rituals and did not accept change well.
