Colonists settled in Massachusetts primarily for religious freedom, driven by Puritans seeking to escape persecution in England and establish a community based on their beliefs. Pennsylvania, on the other hand, was founded by William Penn as a haven for Quakers and other religious dissenters, promoting ideals of tolerance and coexistence. Both regions attracted settlers looking for opportunities to practice their faith freely and build new lives. Economic prospects and land availability also played significant roles in their decisions to migrate.
