Bradford came to the New World a Religious separatist, who obviously lacked a tolerance for other's opinions. Bradford's strong religious affiliations (made apparent by biblical verse scattered throughout his writings) may attribute to his dislike towards Morton. It seems ironic that he came to the new world looking for religious freedom, yet it seemed he had been so carefully molded into his own religion that he himself had little tolerance towards other's opinions. Morton came forth to the New World seeking a new start and possibly a chance to create funds and make something of himself. Moreover, Morton was generally a cheery character who thought of the natives in a good light, rather than seeing them as some strange and foreign enemy. Bradford on the other hand believed the natives to be an enemy of sorts, that is, unless he wanted to use the natives to his own advantage.
