○ many followers believed that the puritans had not done enough to secure more land from the local american indians

Explanation:

Rhode Island was founded by Roger Williams, who was banished from Massachusetts for opposing Puritan religious authoritarianism (theocracy). Connecticut was established by Thomas Hooker and followers who disagreed with the strict Puritan leadership and wanted more religious and political freedom. Both groups left because they rejected the Puritan theocracy, not to support it, push for more extreme reform, or gain more land from Indigenous peoples.

Ministers and their followers, who disagreed with the Puritan theocracy, left to establish their own colonies
