In early american history (13 colonies) Christianity can be divided in 3 sections (denominations).?

Question

What denominations are they? I know one is Anglo Saxon Christianity (Puritans). Another are the Quakers but I don't know what the third is. There location, beleifs (at least the first two I know), zeal vary. The North is extremely conservative, I mean we'll stone till death conservative and they wish to only reproduce with themeselves. They are called the Puritans and were extremely high in zeal but I would like to know exactly what states they lived in. The Quackers beleive in a light that is in us all ,plants humans and animals. They where in the middle states but I would like to know exactly which states. The south , I dont know what denimonation they were or what states they were in, exactly but zeal was low.

1) I would like to know what states the Puritans were in.
2) I would like to know what states the Quackers were in.
3. I would like to know about the southern's states denomination and thier exact states.

I ask because it would help greatly in my History Essay, Thanks

Answer 1

I've changed the order slightly -- I think it will make more sense this way (since the Middle Colonies began to take shape later tthan the others, and moved a different direction)

1) New England was mainly settled by Puritans and their offshoots (esp. the Congregationalists, and some Baptists [Conn & Rhode Island]) - Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island [Rhode Island, founded by Baptist Roger Williams, refused to establish a state church]

2) The official church of the southern colonies was the Church of England (Anglican Church) -- Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia. [Maryland later became Anglican]

3)The MIddle Colonies -- New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland
The Quakers were the first settlers in Pennsylvania, but there was, in fact, much religious diversity in these colonies (and, except for Maryland which ended up Anglican, none of these colonies established an official state church)
"Dutch Mennonites, French Huguenots, German Baptists, and Portuguese Jews joined larger communions of Dutch Reformed, Lutherans, Quakers, and Anglican"

(Presbyterians and Quakers were the largest groups in New Jersey, the Dutch Reformed were important in early New York history)

For the OFFICIAL (established) religion of each colony, see the following chart:

Answer 2

Well surprisingly Puritans and Quakers are very similar in their roots. But anyway yes Puritans were primarily in New England, the Quakers were predominantly in the Mid-Atlantic. Mainly in Pennsylvania which William Penn ( a quaker) founded as a haven for quakers. Another large christian denomination was Catholicism, which largely took root in Maryland. The southern states were primarely a general Protestantism until the the Great Awakenings, and the freeing of the slave population when baptists took a large precedence.

Answer 3

1)The Pilgrims that landed at Plymouth and Settled Massachusetts were Purtians. A few members of the community(such as Anne Hutchinson) disagreed with the leaders, and started Rhode Island.
2) William Penn started the Quaker colony of Pennsylvania with the city of Philadelphia. It wasn't entirely Quaker...as part of their beliefs, they tolerated other religions, unlike the Puritans.
3) I have no idea about Southern religion. I would guess that it would be referring to Jamestown, which was in Virginia, but I don't know for sure. I doubt it was Georgia, because Georgia was a penal colony.

Answer 4

I only know that the Quakers lived in Pennsylvania and the Puritans live in Vermont and New Hampshire and Maine.
