Question

Use the reading and your knowledge of social studies to answer the question.

The Puritans left England because of religious persecution. They chose to settle in North America so they could enjoy freedom of worship. Despite their beginnings, Puritan leaders failed to offer freedom of Religion to non-Puritans who lived in Massachusetts Bay Colony. Eventually, disagreements about Religion led several colonists to leave Massachusetts and settle elsewhere. For instance, Roger Williams, founder of Rhode Island, was expelled in 1635. He disturbed church leaders by declaring that Puritans should split from Church of England and colonists should pay Native Americans for their land.
“ . . . I acknowledge that to molest any person, Jew or Gentile, for either professing doctrine, or practicing worship merely religious or spiritual, it is to persecute him; and such a person, whatever his doctrine or practice be, true or false, suffereth persecution . . .”
—Roger Williams, The Bloudy Tenent of Persecution , 1644

Based on the readings, what did Puritan leaders probably force all colonists to do?


persecute non-Puritans


attend church services


participate in the General Court


convert to the Church of England
