Did the Puritans get along with the Indians?

yes I think because they traded things. They also got along on the same land.I would disagree with the answer given above as historical records show that "Puritans" were a violent sect of Christianity (per se - by todays standards they would be considered terrorist). Historical documentation shows that the Puritans saw the Native Americans as "godless heathens wallowing in sin," and several documented accounts of Puritans murdering Native people as a 'governmental action.' Please remember that Puritans were responsible for: The Salem Witch Trials (for one example).March 28, 2013While some of what the previous dissenter presented is true, people have to be careful when they group all 'Puritans' into one group of Indian haters. If you remember that Rhode Island was created by Roger Williams, a Puritan Minister. Williams was on very friendly terms with the Indians, even have lived with them when he was original banished by the Boston Puritans. Williams idea was that RI should be a haven for those who wanted religious freedom.Now religious freedom wasn't Roger William's only goal. He wanted political freedom for all too. For a good accounting of the issues of that time, including the Indian Wars, you need to read "Roger William and The Creation of the American Soul" by John M. Barry.


How was peace made between the Indians and the puritans?
