The New England Confederation was a short lived alliance between the English colonies of Massachusetts, Plymouth, Connecticut, and New Haven. It was established in 1643 in order to unite the Puritan settlers against the Native Americans. The New England Confederation was weakened however when Massachusetts refused to join the First Anglo-Dutch war in 1654.
English settlers of Massachusetts in the 1600s and German settlers of the 1700s both wanted religious freedom.
Puritanism was the established religion in the New England colonies and no religious freedom was allowed. Many nationalities established themselves including Irish, French and French Canadian, Italian, English, German, Polish, Portuguese, Scottish, Scotch-Irish, and Russian.
The Pilgrims, aka Pilgrim Fathers, landed at Plymouth Rock (Massachusetts) in 1620. They were mostly Brownist English Dissenters, who (while generally Calvinist in their beliefs) wanted to be separate from the Church of England.
The Maryland Colony was founded by the Calvert family as a refuge for English Catholics.
English pilgrims seeking religious freedom settled in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1620. They arrived on the Mayflower and established the Plymouth Colony, which is now known as Plymouth Plantation.
The original founders of the State of Massachusetts were primarily of English descent. They were mainly Puritans, a religious sect that was being persecuted in England at the time, because of their backing of Cromwell instead of the King.

The region with the highest proportion of English settlers in 1760 was the New England colonies, specifically areas like Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire. These colonies were established by English Puritans in the early 17th century and maintained strong cultural ties to England.
The colony of Massachusetts Bay, founded in 1628 in the general vicinity of what is now known as Boston, was settled by the Massachusetts Bay Company, an English company with diverse investors and interests. The settler population was predominantly Puritan, however, and practiced their religious faith zealously from the time of the colony's founding onward.
