The Boston settlement was primarily founded by Puritans seeking to escape religious persecution in England. Led by figures such as John Winthrop, they established the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630, aiming to create a society based on their religious beliefs and values. This migration was part of a larger movement known as the Great Migration, where many Puritans left England for the New World during the early 17th century.
