    Plymouth: Plymouth was a colony settled by Pilgrims who were religious separatists. They migrated to America to maintain their English identity. Since they didn't have a royal charter, they created the Mayflower Compact. It was essentially the first American constitution. The Puritans created a political structure that highlighted their self-governing and religious attitudes. They were religiously tolerant, and they became a vibrant and healthy community. Over time, their colony grew, so they created a legal code, which formed a representative self-government, political rights, and religious freedom. This created a stable democratic political foundation for the colony.…

    From the time each ship set off from England, both the New England and Chesapeake colonies were bound to be different. In the Chesapeake region, where Jamestown was founded, the people had unrealistic expectations. They hoped that gold would be plentiful and easy to find, while also expecting the Native Americans to bow to their wishes. Contrary to their wishes, there was no gold to be found, and the Native Americans became less pleasant as the English became lazier. Believing that they were superior to the Native Americans, the English refused to grow crops, and expected the Native Americans to supply it all, creating rising tensions among them. On the opposite view, the settlers of the New England region had no such hopes. They set out from England to practice their religion more freely. John Winthrop had this idea of a “City on a hill” believing that the people of New England should show England itself how they should live, surrounded by their religion. In fact, upon arriving in New England, the puritans made their Mayflower Compact which allowed them to create their own government. Coming from this compact, the puritans also created the Covenant of Grace, which was to live scandal free and prove scriptural knowledge, and the Social Covenant, which was amongst the people, requiring a mutual watchfulness and no privacy. Unlike the Chesapeake colonies, the New England colonies also came with a family basis, while the…

    The Puritans first came over to the English colonies because they wanted to escape religious prosecution and were seeking religious freedom. When Charles I disbanded parliament and drove England’s economy into the ground, some Puritans joined up with entrepreneurs and created the Massachusetts Bay Company (MBC). The MBC soon colonized the Massachusetts Bay area, which was run by these non-separatist Puritans. This colony of mostly Puritans did not agree with some of the ways other colonies managed their settlements and took control of them, one of these colonies being the Plymouth colony of separatist Puritans who came by way of the Dutch. Although there were colonies that disagreed, most of the…

    "The New England Colonies" , was directed by someone, is about history of The New England Colonies. The founders of the New England colonies was a completely different mission from the Jamestown settlers. Despite the economic prosperity was another goal settlers of New England, their true purpose was spiritual. Fed up with the ceremonial Church of England, the Pilgrims and the Puritans sought to recreate the society in the manner they think God really intended it to be developed. Religious hostility reached a peak in England in the 1500s. When Henry VIII broke with the Catholic Church of Rome, the spiritual life in England was turned over. New Church under the leadership of King has been approved by Parliament, but not all people in England…

    Everyone communicated freely, the settlers could voice their opinions openly and civil elections were held regularly. Further to this, considerable foundation of this settlement was love. This may sound a tad ‘corny’ but it made sense to these religious people that their ‘constitution’, their way of life should be built on the simple, most supporting foundation of all, that of love. Again, a recurring theme here is that this was something that never even entered the back of the minds of Sir Thomas Gates, Sir Thomas Dale or Lord Le War of Chesapeake. Massachusetts and New England was by far a more a ‘home’ than a ‘business’. Even though in both colonies people were there because they wanted to be, it is not hard to see which colony had progressed more for humanity than for economy. However, as a result of these fundamental changes and progressions in both colonies, populations grew, stability followed in the Chesapeake, and Massachusetts gradually grew further away from English Sovereignty under the “Cambridge agreement of local government” during the late 17th century[11]. Even though by this time the Virginia Company had been taken over by the monarch and it then became a Crown…

    Puritans began to come to North America for religious freedom when they were forced to leave England for their faith and some because they believed the church was dishonorable. Unlike Virginia, when people first began settling in Massachusetts Bay they migrated in families rather than alone. This cause Massachusetts Bay to have a large population which helped the colony to strive. The families normally lived in small a village unlike the plantation farms the colonist from Virginia lived on. Massachusetts Bay did not have as much of a need for slaves due to the fact that they had small farms rather than using a farm to make a living. Unlike Virginia whose church was the Church of England, their official church was Congregational/Puritan. Massachusetts Bay was more organized and successful due to the fact that they planned to make that their permanent new home. Eventually Massachusetts Bay became self-governed as to being controlled by England. This was different from every other colony including Virginia. Massachusetts Bay was founded due to the absence of religious freedom in England.…

    However, in the New England area the settlers primary motive was religion. Mostly Puritans came to the New World seeking a haven after being discriminated in the Old World and because of their shared religious beliefs this allowed them to develop communities harmoniously, while having the same end goal, being a model for the world. The first governor of Massachusetts Bay colony, John Winthrop, wrote A Model of Christian Charity and said, “knit together in this work as one man… community as members of the same body… a city upon a hill… the eyes of all people are upon us” (Doc.…

    In the midst of the 1600s, religious persecution transpired in England between the Catholics and Protestants, provoked by the concept of there only being one “true” religion. Settlers fled England in search of not only a place where they could have religious freedom without conviction, but also a place where they had an opportunity for economic prosperity, land ownership, and wealth. Although colonists may have fled England for similar reasons, the intentions for the establishment and development of the New England and Chesapeake colonies differed greatly. The New England and Chesapeake colonies both developed on top of Christianity and God’s justification, but the colonists in each region shared differing relationships between the colonists…

    A large number of Puritan merchants obtained a grant of land for Massachusetts and New Hampshire, and acquired a charter form the king to create the Massachusetts Bay Company. This meant that Massachusetts and New Hampshire were part of a Charter Colony—supported by a Company instead of the crown. A large migration of 17 ships and 1,000 people set sail for New England for one reason: to build a Puritan refuge. Their main goal was religious freedom instead of economic gain; the Puritans only wanted freedom from the crown. They elected John Winthrop as governor, and soon established several towns within New England. The Puritans were hard working people. They believed that their work ethic led to material success, which was evidence of God’s favor. Because of this, the Puritan settlers were quick to establish farms and set up communities based on family and hard work. They had a rough beginning, as well, but nowhere near as bad as Jamestown. Their belief in building a “city upon a hill” inspired the community to stay close to God and family. This dominance of families caused a feeling of commitment to the community and a sense of order among settlers. However, Massachusetts Bay was a theocracy- meaning there was no separation between church and state. The Puritans had no more religious freedom than they had in England. This just encouraged them to work even harder for the betterment of the…

    Puritans were a group of people from Europe that came to America to live out their own religion. They were a hard working, strict when in it came to their religion , and they also believed that they were Gods chosen people. Now the Planters also came from Europe as well but they weren't leaving for religion but more for the money. They were not as hard working as the planters, you could even say that they were pampered. Puritans and planters were said to be very different groups of people but also very much alike. In my opinion they were more alike than unlike. They were both a religious group. They all loved God, almost the same amount. The Puritans were hard working, but the Planters were lazy and pampered.…

    The puritan faith ruled most of New England, as the separatist pilgrims and the Massachusetts Bay puritans were the main groups the started the New England colonies, after immigrating to the New World after escaping persecution in england. The puritans had a strict faith and only certain people who were “free and elect” could be apart of the church. Although puritanism wasn’t the main religion of the New England colonies, it had a major influence on it from church to state, and the puritans were not tolerant of many other religions. The fire and brimstone teachings, and the rules of the puritan New England differed from the loose anglican southern colonies. Most of the southern colonist were anglican, church of England, but they were not as strict or serious in their faith as their northern counterparts. Most of the south was more concerned in the tobacco and plantations and many southern colonist did not proudly or strongly all themselves anglican. The strength of religion can be justified, since most of the New England colonist immigrated to America to escape religious persecution from england, and most of the southern colonist came to America for money and land. The religious practices of the New England and Southern colonies varied extremely and shaped the colonies to be what they…

    On the contrary of Virginia and Massachusetts colony, Massachusetts was successful in establishing a colony in the United States. It was explained, “Massachusetts had less disease, more kids, better relationship with Indians, better leadership, and better funding” (McNee 6/12/17). It depicts that they had a better opportunity on surviving due to the location of Massachusetts and were more ready than the Virginia/Chesapeake colony. Furthermore, they wanted to build a colony as the main reason of finding their own “religious freedom” (McNee 6/7/17) as Puritans. They wanted to spread their religion and develop a safe community where families can live in peace without any war or conflicts in their surroundings. In addition, they were also taught…
