The puritans were strict about religion and life styles, where the Quakers lived a little more freely. The Quakers took in people's beliefs, while the Puritans booted out anybody who did not believe the same things they did.
If beliefs were different you were not a Puritan
Quakers were a society of friends. They always tried to keep peace, even at their own expense. For instance, William Penn, a Quaker bought land from Indians although England already gave it to him, he didn't want war with the Indians.
The Puritans came here to because they wanted to purify the Church. They saw the Church as too lax where they came from and wanted the freedom to worship as they saw fit, with all the high standards, rules, discipline, and so on. They had strict beliefs and rituals and did not accept change well.

∙ 13y agoOK, so there were some differences between the Quakers and the Puritans. A few differences are:
- The Quakers believed all people are equal, Puritans believed only specific people were good.
- The Quakers believed all people who did the right thing would go to heaven, the Puritans believed only their group would go to heaven.
- The Quakers were always kind to the Native Americans. The Puritans thought they were above and better then them.
- The Quakers believed in religious toleration, the Puritans kicked anyone out of their colony who didn't worship the same way as they did.
I hope this helps answer any questions!
