    When the pilgrims came to New England they set out for their own religious freedom, even though they didn’t always believe other religions had the right to do so as well. In England the puritans, both separatists and non-separatists, were harshly treated by the theocratic government (government controlled by religious aspects). The puritans were locked up or even killed for disobeying the church and government. In the 1620s, puritans in England heard about the Plymouth colony of separatists and wanted something similar. The Massachusetts Bay Company was an organized group of adventurers and puritans that were set for going to New England greatly for economic interests. The company received a charter from the king that allowed them to leave England to set up a colony in the new world. At the time the king didn’t know they were puritans or he may have not allowed the charter to be issued. The puritans in the company sought this venture to be a chance to create a perfect Christian society of their own. In 1630, 1,000 people (including families) sailed over headed by John Winthrop, an influential leader of the expedition. Winthrop was later to be an elected leader year after year in the colony. In the port of Boston was where the central colony started. The colony was greatly influenced by…

These pilgrims were known as separatists, which were the more radical group of Puritans (Tindall & Shi, 42). Plymouth was the name that the Pilgrims used as it remind them of England with the fact that they chose a settlement closer to the cold Atlantic (Tindal & Shi, 43).…

    Massachusetts has played a significant role in American history, most importantly in the lives of Puritans. In 1629 an assembly of Puritans had formed the Massachusetts Bay Company, which later received a royal charter to establish a colony north of Plymouth. The company had selected John Winthrop a wealthy English Puritan lawyer, to be the colony’s governor. In 1630, Winthrop also became one of the leading figures in founding the Massachusetts Bay Colony, the first major settlement in New England after Plymouth Colony. He guided about 900 people to Massachusetts Bay where most of them settled. More settlers followed. During the 1630’s, more than 15,000 Puritans journeyed to Massachusetts to escape religious persecution and economic hard ships in England. This movement became known as the Great Migration. As one of the most important of the New England colonies, Massachusetts became a leader in resisting British oppression.…
