Both the Puritans and contemporary refugees or pioneers experienced displacement from their original homes and faced challenges adapting to a new environment. They had to forge new communities and lifestyles while encountering resistance from existing populations. Additionally, all three groups sought greater freedom, whether religious or personal, in their new surroundings.
Both Quakers and Puritans were religious groups that originated in England during the same time period, but they had different beliefs and practices. Quakers emphasized inner spiritual experiences and equality among all individuals, while Puritans focused on predestination and a strict moral code. Both groups faced persecution for their beliefs, but Puritans sought to establish a permanent colony in the New World, while Quakers primarily aimed to spread their message through peaceful activism.
The Half-Way Covenant allowed the unsaved children of Puritans to become church members in 1662. It provided a way for individuals who hadn't experienced a conversion experience to participate in the church community and have their children baptized.
Separatist Puritans believed in completely separating from the Church of England and forming their own independent congregations. Non-separatist Puritans, on the other hand, wanted to reform the Church of England from within. Ultimately, the Pilgrims who settled in Plymouth were Separatist Puritans, while the Puritans who settled in Massachusetts Bay Colony were mostly non-separatists.
The Puritans implemented the Halfway Covenant to address declining church membership and promote religious participation among second-generation colonists. It allowed partial church membership for those who hadn't experienced a conversion experience, encouraging more people to stay connected to the church and maintain a sense of community and religious identity.
The Puritans first settled in Plymouth Colony in 1620.
The pilgrims, puritans, and quakers' experience during colonial settlements were not good.

The original Puritans had a conversion experience and then became full members of the church. Then they were eligible to get married in a Puritan church, have their babies baptized, and be buried by the church. When their babies became of legal age, they did not have the conversion experiences of the original Puritans. They still wanted to participate in the church rituals. The half way convenient was created for them. They would become church members but not voting church members unless and until they had a conversion experience. They could get married, get their children baptized, and get buried in the church.
I don't think that the experience of discourse was part of the colloquy. But no, the conversion experience was not at the heart of the Puritans' objection to the C of E. Puritans objected to many C of E practices including, among other things, clerical dress and church government.
Mormon pioneers left their homes and traveled to a wild land to settle new colonies where they could practice their religion in peace, just like the Puritan pilgrims.
There are many stories about Native Americans who liked pioneers-- and far more about the strife that existed among these peoples. Sacagawea, for example, was a Native American woman who was extraordinarily instrumental in helping Lewis and Clark survey the Louisiana Territory (Louisiana Purchase). A fundamental source of friction between the Native American population and the pioneers stemmed from the pioneers' notion that the land that had been occupied and used by Native Americans was available for the taking. This seemed reasonable to the pioneers because they came from a culture that viewed land as personal property, but the NAtive Americans did not share this perspective. Anyone might be inclined to dislike others who were taking something to which they had no inherent right.

No. It was the Parliamentarians who were Puritans.
For the Puritans, conversion meant the experience of a profound spiritual transformation in which an individual's heart and mind were turned towards God. It involved a deep sense of conviction of sin, repentance, and a personal encounter with God's grace leading to a new life of faith and obedience. Conversion was seen as essential for salvation and membership in the church.
