Quakers, the religious denomination, originate from the country of England.
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.
