The Puritans faced punishment primarily for not adhering to the strict religious and moral codes established by their communities. This included violations of Sabbath observance, engaging in activities deemed sinful like dancing or drinking, and challenging the authority of church leaders. Their emphasis on conformity and discipline meant that any deviation from prescribed behavior could lead to social ostracism, fines, or even harsher penalties. Ultimately, their strict adherence to their beliefs often led to conflicts with those who held different views.
