Massachusetts

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.

The Mayflower departed Plymouth, England on September 6th (O.S.) and arrived at what is now Provincetown, at the tip of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, on November 11th--a voyage of 65 days. [Source: "Of Plymouth Plantation" by William Bradford, Chapter IX.] They remained on the ship the following day, as it was a Sunday, for prayer and worship. They actually set foot on land on November 13th. They assembled a boat and made three expeditions over the next few weeks exploring the coastline. Having selected a site for their settlement, they took the Mayflower across to an abandoned Native American settlement called Patuxet, now Plymouth. The Mayflower dropped anchor there on December 17th. According to legend, that is where they would have set foot on Plymouth Rock.

Jamestown was settled for economic reasons and Pymouth and Massachusetts Bay Colony were settled for religious reasons.

John Winthrop became governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1629 and preceded governor John Endicott (Endecott)

He was born in Groton, England in 1588 and died in Boston, Massachusetts in 1649.

He was a lawyer but lived most of his life in the colonies as a governor and political leader.

This assumes that you're asking about John Winthrop, who could be an American scientist (1714-79), colonial governor in America (1606-76), or colonial governor of Connecticut (1638-1707).

Portmouth or Boston Hopes this helps!

Native Americans were in Massachusetts for centuries before the Pilgrims came to Plymouth in 1620. The paleoIndians were present from 10,000 BC.

The Massachusetts Bay colony, founded in 1628 in the area of present-day Boston, was established officially to open a trade center in the New World that could reward investors with the profit of having direct access to New World goods brought to English markets. Below the surface, however, the colony served as an opportunity for Puritans to practice their beliefs without critical or controlling interference from English authorities.

I was looking for the same thing for an study guide --lol-- ANYWAY, i put to be self-governed colonies where the citizens obeyed the laws set out in the Mayflower Compact (the mayflower compact was made by the same pilgrims who built the colonies). As well as that i put to have religious freedom because they where discriminated against in Europe because of their religious beliefs.

By law the puritans had to attend church. The sermons the puritans attended taught the "New England Way". This stressed the puritans beliefs in hard work to make the colony grow and become successful
