The Puritans sought refuge in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the early 17th century to escape religious persecution in England. They were dissatisfied with the Church of England and aimed to establish a society based on their strict religious beliefs and practices. In 1630, led by John Winthrop, a significant group of Puritans emigrated to New England, where they hoped to create a "city upon a hill" that would serve as a model of Christian virtue. Their migration was largely driven by the desire for religious freedom and the opportunity to build a community aligned with their values.

The Quakers, or the Religious Society of Friends, are a Christian denomination known for their emphasis on equality, pacifism, and direct personal experience of God. Founded in the mid-17th century in England by George Fox, Quakers faced persecution for their beliefs, prompting many to seek a place where they could practice their faith freely. In 1681, William Penn, a prominent Quaker, received a royal charter to establish Pennsylvania as a colony that would serve as a refuge for religious dissenters, promoting principles of religious tolerance and democratic governance. This laid the groundwork for Pennsylvania's reputation as a center of religious freedom and diversity in colonial America.
