Who founded New England?

New England colonies were usually founded by groups of people who wanted to find religious freedom in the New World. They were trying to escape persecution by the Anglicans in England. These colonies were usually run by the religion, a government type called an theocracy.

Answer 2

New England (located on the eastern coast of the U.S.) was founded by the British, hence the name New England. The first white people to live in New England were the passengers of the Mayflower, or the pilgrims. British people moved there to escape religious persecution back in England.
