For whom did the Massachusetts Bay Colony provide a safe religious haven?
When the Massachusetts Bay Colony was established by John Winthrop, its goal was to be a "city on a hill," a religious theocracy run by and for Puritans, and one that would set a good example for Christians who would live there. Unfortunately, the Puritans turned out to be quite intolerant of not just other religions but other interpretations of Puritanism, causing people like Roger Williams to leave and establish other colonies (in Williams's case, Rhode Island).
How did Boston become the first major city in colonial America?

How did the goals of the Jamestown colonist differ from those of puritan colonists in Massachusetts?
The Jamestown colonies were founded for the sole purpose of mirroring the success that the Spanish have seen from such explorers as Christopher Columbus and Hernan Cortes. Their motives were purely to gain profit. The Massachusetts Bay Colony was never interested in money. Their goal was to create a religious Utopia that would shine back on the old Catholic church in England and show them that their take on religion is correct after all. John Winthrop's "Model of christian charity" states their exact mission. This full heartily explains why the puritans are so strict. They will not allow anyone to jeopardize the mission because it will ruin the colony's Utopia appearance. hope this helps

Perhaps you are referring to the Massachusetts Bay colony, which did have a settlement in and around what is Boston today. This group of colonists, led by John Winthrop, were Puritans, and their religion was discriminated against in England. They wanted to establish a colony that would give them the right to worship, and to set up a city that would be an example to others, a light to the nations. Their goal when they arrived in 1630 was to demonstrate that their colony could be godly and still be prosperous and successful.
