The Quakers were persecuted in England so their colony promoted religious tolerance.

they believed in nonviolence and equality
Definitely in England and North America and I think some may have been persecuted in the Caribbean as well as possibly also other places.
By most criteria, the Quakers were (and still are) considered a Protestant denomination. Perhaps you intended to ask, "Why were Quakers persecuted so violently by the Puritans?"
Most New England Puritans viewed Quakers with suspicion and hostility due to their radical beliefs and practices, which challenged the established religious order. Quakers emphasized personal revelation and inner light, rejecting formal worship and church hierarchy, which directly contradicted Puritan ideals. As a result, Puritans often persecuted Quakers, subjecting them to fines, imprisonment, and even harsher punishments to suppress their influence and maintain religious conformity in the community.
The Quakers were mistreated in England because of their religious beliefs.

The statement "Quakers were loyal to the Church of England" is not true. Quakers, or the Religious Society of Friends, were known for their dissent from the Church of England and often faced persecution for their beliefs. They advocated for religious freedom and equality, which contrasted sharply with the established church's practices.
Yes. The Quakers were fairly open to other people and religion. They were one of the first colonies to establish a pact with the Native Americans and offer peace. The foundation of the Quakers is peaceful coexistence with others.
