Religion was very important in Massachusetts and the 13 colonies. In fact, many of the colonists moved to America for the very reason of religious freedom. The major religion in the colonies was Christianity. Different forms of Christianity within the colonies were the Quakers and the Puritans. The Puritans were the major religious group in Massachusetts at that time. They were very strict about their beliefs and the punishments were harsh as well. Many men and women were banished from the colony or executed for denying the Puritan faith or any other sins the Puritans saw as unacceptable. Because the Puritans were pacifists, Massachusetts was extremely reluctant to vote for the Revolutionary War, but was convinced otherwise. John Adams was a key character in the vote and was from Massachusetts.
