Puritans in New England viewed dissenters with suspicion and often hostility, seeing them as threats to the moral and social order of their tightly-knit communities. They believed that dissent undermined their religious and communal ideals, leading to potential chaos and sin. As a result, dissenters often faced social ostracism, legal repercussions, and exile, reflecting the Puritan commitment to maintaining a unified, devout society. Figures like Anne Hutchinson and Roger Williams exemplified the harsh treatment dissenters could receive for challenging Puritan orthodoxy.

Consequently, this environment of intolerance fueled the expansion of New England as dissenters established new settlements, such as Rhode Island, promoting a broader range of religious and social practices in the region.
