Download or read book The Massachusetts Bay Colony: The Puritans Arrive from England written by Bonnie Hinman and published by Mitchell Lane Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2010-12-23 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Winthrop's plan for "the Citty upon a Hill" was grand and based on noble motives. He wanted a place where he and other Puritans could live and prosper without religious persecution. That place was the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Winthrop and his fellow Puritans landed in Massachusetts Bay in 1630. Soon they had organized a government, started towns, and were sending goods back to England. Decades later, Boston, Massachusetts, was a hotbed of radical activity during the years before the Revolutionary War. The war started with the battles of Lexington and Concord in the Massachusetts countryside not far from Boston. The freedom that came for America after that struggle went far toward achieving the dream of John Winthrop. The United States of America became a sort of "citty upon a hill," where all men and women had the right to live peacefully without persecution.

Download or read book History of the Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay Colonies written by Doug West and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-24 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay Colonies were founded by adventuresome individuals with strong religious convictions. Puritans who settled in what is now the state of Massachusetts sought a place where they could practice their religion free from persecution as well as make a living. Both groups of settlers in America agreed that the Anglican Church needed to be "purified" and that each congregation should govern itself. The Pilgrims who settled the Plymouth Colony were more radical separatists who wanted to break away from the Church of England. In contrast, those that settled the Massachusetts Bay Colony were less radical and more numerous, they sought to reform the Anglican Church from within, not separate from it.Journeying from their home in England to their new home on the northeastern shore of America was a voyage of over three thousand miles across a virtually uncharted and dangerous ocean. Though many would perish on the voyage that took months, they spent most of their time below deck huddled with their fellow travelers and livestock in dark and dank quarters, yet they kept coming in search of freedom and opportunity. These brave adventurers established two colonies that would grow and prosper over the centuries to become the state of Massachusetts and much of the New England region. We owe much to these early forefathers of America, an educational system, a representative form of government, and the dream that with hard work and determination one can build a brighter future.The book "History of the Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay Colonies" gives a concise look at the formation and early years of the Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay Colonies. To illustrate the story there are numerous pictures of the people, places, and events that were part of this adventure. In addition, a list of reference books for further reading is included. A timeline of the colonies puts the events in sequence and there is a section that contains short biographical sketches of the key individuals in the book. 30-Minute Book SeriesThis is the 42nd book in the 30-Minute Book Series.

Book excerpt: *Includes pictures *Profiles important figures like John Winthrop, Roger Williams, and others *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading *Includes a table of contents The first successful American colony in North America was settled in 1607 at Jamestown, Virginia. Though the Virginian colonists had difficulty in the beginning, by the late 1620s the Chesapeake area was thriving, having become a haven for those seeking economic opportunity in the new world. Pressures in England were growing as King Charles I was on the throne. Though Charles I himself was an Anglican, many suspected him of Catholic sympathies, a suspicion not alleviated by Charles I marriage to a French Catholic princess. Many Protestants had a growing desire to practice their faith and conduct their lives away from the mother country, and sought refuge in a destination called New England. The land chosen by this group, who "could pay their own way across the Atlantic" in contrast to the poorer settlers of the Chesapeake region was "colder, less abundant, but far healthier" than Virginia. Alan Taylor sees this decision as one in "classic Puritan fashion," citing one settler's view: "If men desire to have a people degenerate speedily, and to corrupt their minds and bodies too...let them seek a rich soil, that beings in much with little labor; but if they desire that Piety and Godliness should prosper...let them choose a Country such as [New England] which yields sufficiency with hard labor and industry." The Puritans who came to America were, therefore, primed for hard work, discipline and the independent life, unlike their English counterparts who "preferred Anglicanism and the traditional culture characterized by church ales, Sunday diversions, ceremonial services, inclusive churches, and deference to the monarch." Ultimately, the men of the New England Company decided that the time had come to remove themselves from England, and to pursue their lives in the Americas. The Dorchester Company was founded by a group of investors with an interest in settlement in the New World. This settlement would be a for-profit venture, but it would have as its two main causes the spreading of the Gospel to the Indian population and the stop of the spread of Roman Catholicism in the American colonies. John White, the company's leader, also wanted to compete with the separatists who had begun the Plymouth colony in 1620. Cape Ann, a promontory very near to Cape Cod was established by the Dorchester Company as an early settlement. The fishing was excellent, but Cape Ann proved unable to provide the farm goods needed to sustain the Puritan settlers who came to the New World. The Dorchester Company was dissolved, but investors seeking to salvage its aims formed the New England Company or Massachusetts Bay Company and secured a charter just before King Charles I dissolved the Parliament in 1629. The Massachusetts Bay Colony: The History and Legacy of the Settlement of Colonial New England profiles the history of the colony, as well as its most famous leaders and individuals. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about colonial New England like never before, in no time at all.
Book Synopsis Puritans and Yankees by : Richard S. Dunn
Download or read book Puritans and Yankees written by Richard S. Dunn and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-08 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Governor John Winthrop established the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630, he commenced a tradition of public service in which his family would participate for almost a century. His son, John, Jr., and his grandsons, Fitz John and Wait Still, were deeply involved in the colonial government of New England, although their motives were increasingly mixed with private interest. Mr. Dunn's portrayal of this important and interesting family illuminates the two most fundamental themes in early New England history: the gradual secularization of the New England conscience, and the continuous struggle to preserve local customs and privileges within an increasingly centralized English imperial system. Originally published in 1962.
