Best Answer

Founded successfully in 1628 by a basically Puritan constituency from England, the Massachusetts Bay Colony had a number of the same goals as other English (and European) colonies in the New World. Distinctively, it also intended to establish a 'city upon a hill' that would shine a Christian light for all to see and provide them with a home in which they could freely practice their Puritan beliefs and customs.
