Massachsetts was settled by English settlers in 17th Century.At this time the word 'British' was not used. This term was invented to create a fake identity for the newly formed 'Great Britain' of 1707- The 'union'.

English settlements were around Boston, which was named after the town many colonists came from. This is a farming area in the fenlands of Eastern England.

The reason they came was to escape the religious persecution of non-conformists such as Quakers by the Scottish King James I.
