The "Colonial" Puritans failed to convert the Indians because ultimately, they failed. Their harsh intolerance, along with other poor decision making (Salem Witch Trials) led to their own destruction.

Who were the Puritans who rebelled against the settlement and what did they do?

The Puritans who rebelled against the settlement were led by Nathaniel Bacon in the 1676 rebellion known as Bacon's Rebellion. They were unhappy with the colonial government's policies and lack of protection against Native American attacks. The rebellion resulted in the burning of Jamestown and ultimately failed, but it highlighted social and economic tensions in the colony.


What is the difference between the seperist puritans and non-seperatists puritans?

Separatist Puritans believed in completely separating from the Church of England and forming their own independent congregations. Non-separatist Puritans, on the other hand, wanted to reform the Church of England from within. Ultimately, the Pilgrims who settled in Plymouth were Separatist Puritans, while the Puritans who settled in Massachusetts Bay Colony were mostly non-separatists.

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.

What have the Puritans failed to learn from the persecution of their ancestors?

They have failed to learn that those deviating from the norm should not be penalized. The puritans left England because they were persecuted because of their religion, and they wanted to go somewhere where they would be free to practice the religion of their choice. After finally making colonies in America, the Puritans adopted regulations much like their home country, penalizing those who dissented the central accepted religion.
