The group that was exiled from Massachusetts in the early 17th century was primarily the Puritans and the dissenters among them, notably Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson. They faced persecution for their beliefs and practices that deviated from the established Puritan orthodoxy. Williams founded Rhode Island as a haven for religious freedom, while Hutchinson was also forced to leave due to her controversial views. This movement contributed to the broader establishment of religiously tolerant communities in New England.
