As one of the first American colonies, the Massachusetts Bay Colony was officially chartered for the sake of trade between the New World and the Old. At the same time, though secretly, it was organized as a refuge for religious separatists, known as Puritans, who protested many of the practices of the official English church and were in turn often persecuted by the same.
