Detailed explanation-1: -Puritan intolerance led to the founding of new colonies in New England. Most of Jamestown’s colonists were townspeople who knew little about living in the woods or making use of the abundant fish and game around them.
Detailed explanation-2: -They established several settlements. How did the lack of religious toleration affect politics in Massachusetts Bay Colony? The people were divided by religion. Only male members were allowed to vote.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Puritans were seeking freedom, but they didn’t understand the idea of toleration. They came to America to find religious freedom-but only for themselves. They had little tolerance or even respect for the Pequot Indians, who lived in nearby Connecticut and Rhode Island.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Massachusetts Bay Colony of the New World was a Puritan theocratic state in the early 1650s. Puritan leaders did not have much tolerance for people of other religions, and as a result, the Puritan government often persecuted and banished religious outsiders who tried to enter and live in their Puritan towns.
