The Massachusetts Colony was largely successful due to its strong economy, driven by agriculture, trade, and fishing, as well as its commitment to education and religion, which fostered a literate and engaged population. The establishment of a self-governing system allowed for political stability and community involvement, attracting more settlers. Additionally, the colony's Puritan roots created a cohesive social structure that emphasized cooperation and shared values. However, challenges such as conflicts with Indigenous peoples and internal dissent also shaped its history.
