Massachusetts In the early 1600s,
religion was very important in England.
The king ruled the Church of England (Anglican Church).
However, not everyone agreed with the Church’s practices.

Massachusetts (Puritans) Puritans wanted to “purify”
the Church by making services simpler & doing away with ranks of authority.
Puritans were jailed for not attending Anglican services.
They wanted to move to a land where they could practice their religion freely.

Massachusetts (Mayflower) In 1620, 50 Puritans set
sail for America aboard the Mayflower with the hope of building a perfect society.
During their voyage, they signed an agreement called the “Mayflower Compact” that described the way they would govern themselves in America.

Plymouth & were welcomed by the Indians.

Massachusetts (Charter)10 years later, the king sent
off a large group of Puritans to America with a charter for the colony of Massachusetts.
The charter stated that the colonists would govern themselves. This allowed the Puritans to build a community governed by the rules of the Bible.
