Describe the story of how Massachusetts was created? How was it different from Virginia? Who came to Massachusetts and why did they come?

Answer 1

Massachusetts Bay Colony, one of the original English settlements in present-day Massachusetts, settled in 1630 by a group of about 1,000 Puritan refugees from England under Gov. John Winthrop and Deputy Gov. Thomas Dudley.Massachusetts is a truly historic state. Indigenous people lived in Massachusetts for over ten thousand years before it was colonized by the English in the 17th century. The 17th century brought a mass migration of Puritan immigrants into the area while the preceding centuries brought new waves of immigrants.

Like many of the early American colonies, the Massachusetts Bay Colony, founded in 1630, has its roots in the search for religious freedom. The Puritans of England came to Massachusetts in hopes of living free from persecution for their religious beliefs.
