When was the Massachusetts bay colony founded who settled it and how did these settlers differ from the Plymouth plantation?

The Massachusetts Bay Colony was founded in 1630 by Puritans seeking religious freedom, led by John Winthrop. Unlike the Pilgrims of Plymouth Plantation, who were Separatists seeking to break away from the Church of England, the Puritans aimed to reform and purify the church from within. This difference in approach influenced the social and political structures of the two settlements, with the Massachusetts Bay Colony being more focused on creating a theocratic society.


Which settlement was not established by dissenters leaving the Massachusetts bay colony?

Well, I don't know what your choices were but I can tell you the ones that were established by dissenters leaving the Massachusetts Bay Colony: Rhode Island and Connecticut. Roger Williams founded Rhode Island Colony in 1636 due to his dissent from Puritan beliefs. Another dissenter, Anne Hutchinson, followed him there several years later. Minister Thomas Hooker led one hundred others in leaving the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1636. They settled in the Connecticut River Valley at the site of an Old Dutch fort, calling it Hartford. Three years, Hartford and two other settlements were joined to form the colony of Connecticut.
