because they wan to have there own religion. that is the reason they left England. if they will not let them choose there own religion then they will fight for it or move which both would destroy the small colonies of that time. when two differnt religions fight it destroys both sides so any other religion tends to try to take over. two groups see each other talk get 1 problem and then use religion as a reason for war.
With the Indians they lived 1 way forever and the pilgrims thought it was the work of the devil, so the devil must be killed.in some cases they just thought they were different and where worried anyway, so it often lead to war.

Because everyone who came to the colonies was not a
Pilgrim: they had their own beliefs. For example, Squanto already had a full fledged belief system, as did his people, and he was not happy about being asked to chuck it out and believe something that was completely alien to his culture. Others who came into the colony - for example, trappers, hunters, traders, came from different backgrounds and had either their own religions (often Catholic, Protestant, Lutheran) or didn't have any particular beliefs. None of these people were especially interested in adopting the Puritan beliefs - although a few young men did, solely so they could woo and win some of the Puritan daughters. Women were in short supply in colonial days and on the frontier in general, and young men would go to extraordinary lengths for them.

Everyone within the Puritan colonies had to be Puritan or they were killed or pushed out. Of course these beliefs did not go well with the Natives. They had a strict lifestyle. Basically they believed that everyone was born a sinner and had to redeem themselves. Of course a lot of people objected this.

Intolerance and conflict are always found together. The Puritans weren't the only settlers. That means they have plenty of people to conflict with. Puritans, Quakers, Natives, and all of the less-than-religiously motivated fortune seekers are bound to butt heads.

chinese language rulers, referred to as emperors, based their government on the Confucian type, which taught that the superb ruler replaced right into a virtuous guy who led via occasion. Legalists under pressure potential, not goodness, as a ruler's perfect distinctive function, at a similar time as Daoists, who rejected the popular worldwide, believed that the superb government replaced into the only that ruled least.

Because they're hypocrite self-supremite assholes. They go there to seek religious freedom then say 'my god is better than yours'.

So the natives might not like them much.
