The puritans, who had been persecuted for their religious beliefs by intolerant religious people in england, learned their lesson and were very tolerant of other religions when they settled in massachusetts. true or false

No, they were not tolerant. It's false.

Explanation:

The puritanism was the result of Martin Luther's protestant reformation in 1517. Spreading across Europe, Protestantism created many different points of view and one of them was the Puritans. They believed in a primitive Christian way, which means that they praised a simple and humble life, but they didn't understand other faiths and were not tolerant of them. They were running away from England due to James I persecution, and arrived in the New World looking to freedom to believe in God as they wanted. But not to other faiths.
