Why do you think the Puritans persecuted the Quakers?  Was it because they were different or was it because they were scared that the Quakers would take some Puritans away?

What happened to Anne Hutchinson after she was banished and moved to Rhode Island?

All I found out about Anne Hutchinson after being excommunicated was that she moved to New York several years later and was later massacred by Indians along with her family.  Thomas Hutchinson, one of her descendants, later became governor of Massachusetts.
