-from the time PUritans arrived in the New World, they experienced many challenges and diffuculties
-several notable PUritan dissenters (one who disagrees in matter os opinions, belief, etc.) were ordered to leave the Massachusetts Bay conlony
-ex. Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson would not follow the strict rules of Puritan leaders and were exiled
-other people were put on trial for being witches because they would not follow teh rules of religion and society
-some were even exiled
-the most famous examples of this were the Salem Witch Trails of 1682
-it is a great curiousity: the Puritans who left England to escape persecution but would then establish themselves a society with strict rules that did not tolerate certain people
-they also warred constantly with the Indians
