Religion
The Massachusetts Bay Colony is discovered by Puritan colonists, who are from England. Puritans in this colony want to "purify" the Church of England from all its catholic remnants. The king does not care for the Puritans and many end up forced to leave England. When they leave, many "separatists" flee to America to create an isolated society where everyone can practice their religion in peace. Freedom of religion is not the law here. The colony of Massachusetts is a dominantly Puritan settlement. Our devotion to principle is God's work.
