thought by most of our general population to be the first colony in the New World. This is only half true. Jamestown is considered our first successful colony‚ however it was not our first attempt at a colony. There were a few attempts to colonize the New World before Jamestown and one in particular that is found to be interesting is Roanoke also known as the Lost Colony.

The great land and location to water made both of these good destinations. It wasn’t a tough choice to choose the colonies I wanted to live in.

Massachusetts Bay Colony government was able to be‚ at least partially‚ simultaneously theocratic‚ democratic‚ oligarchic‚ and authoritarian.
