In 1629 a group of Puritans formed the
Massachusetts Bay Company. They received a
charter from the king to set up a colony north of
Plymouth. The company chose John Winthrop to be
the colony's governor. In 1630 Winthrop led about
900 men, women, and children to Massachusetts
Bay. Most of them settled in a place they called
Boston.
More settlers followed. During the 1630s, more than
15,000 Puritans came to Massachusetts. They wanted to
escape religious persecution. Many were also having
trouble finding jobs in England. This movement of people
became known as the Great Migration.
At first, Winthrop and his assistants made the colony's
laws. In 1634 settlers said they wanted to play a larger role
in their government. As a result, adult male church
members were allowed to vote for the governor and for
representatives to the government. Later, voting rights were
given to men who owned property.
The Puritans came to America so they could practice their
religion freely. They had little tolerance (TAH•luh•ruhnts),
however, for people who had different beliefs. They
criticized people who did not agree with their views. They
strictly enforced their religious rules. Many people left the
Puritan colonies and started new ones because of this.
