New England A group of Puritans, called Separatists, broke away from the Anglican Church to form their own congregations. King James I viewed this action as a challenge to his authority, and he imprisoned Separatist leaders. In September 1620, 102 passengers set off on the journey across the Atlantic.

Mayflower Compact On November 11, 1620, 41 adult men met in the ship’s cabin to sign a document later known as the Mayflower Compact. In it they declared their intention to create a government and obey its laws. They agreed to “solemnly and mutually in the presence of God and one another, covenant and combine ourselves together in a civil body politic, for our better ordering and preservation,” and to “frame such just and equal laws, ordinances, acts, constitutions and officers, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general good of the Colony, unto which we promise all due submission and obedience.”

Squanto and Thanksgiving A plague swept through the colony sparing only 50 settlers, and if it were not for the help of Squanto (a Native American man who taught them how to farm, fish, and negotiate peace with other Native American groups) none would have survived. The Pilgrims joined one of these surrounding Indian groups, the Wampanoag, in a three day festival to celebrate the harvest and give thanks to God for their good fortune.

The Puritans Found Massachusetts After King Charles took the throne in 1625, opposition to the Puritans began to increase, and many Puritans became willing to leave America. John Winthrop and several other wealthy Puritans were stockholders in the Massachusetts Bay Company. Convinced that there was no future for Puritans in England, Winthrop decided to change what had been merely a business investment into a refuge for the Puritans in America.

Visionary, Deceiver, and Dictator “The Lord will make our name a praise and glory, so that men will say of succeeding plantations: ‘The Lord make it like that of New England.’ For we must consider that we shall be like a City upon a Hill; the eyes of all the people are on us.” To ensure that the colony became the kind of society he wanted, Winthrop ignored the charter and told the settlers that only the governor and his assistants could make laws for the colony. No one knew that these rules were not in the charter because Winthrop kept the charter locked in a chest.

Rhode Island and Religious Dissent Eventually, just as Anglican intolerance of the Puritans led to the founding of Massachusetts, Puritan intolerance led to the founding of other colonies in New England. Roger Williams returned to Massachusetts in 1633, but was ordered by the General Court to leave in 1635. Williams then purchased land south of Massachusetts from Native Americans and founded the town of Providence. In Providence, the government had no authority in religious matters. Different religious beliefs were tolerated rather than suppressed.

Anne Hutchinson is Banished Anne Hutchinson was an intelligent, charismatic, and widely admired woman who moved to Boston in the 1630s. She was a devout Puritan, and began to hold prayer meetings in her home. Hutchinson claimed to know which ministers had salvation from God and which did not. In late 1637, the General Court called Hutchinson before them to answer the charges of heresy. When questioned by the court, Hutchinson did not confess or repent—but claimed that God had given her an immediate revelation.

Rhode Island Becomes a Colony Over the next few years, Massachusetts banished other dissenting Puritans. They too headed south and founded two more towns that eventually joined together (1644) with Portsmouth and Providence to become the colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. Religious freedom, with a total separation of church and state, was a key part of the colony’s charter.

Fundamental Orders of Connecticut In 1636 the Reverend Thomas Hooker appealed to the General Court of Massachusetts for permission to move his entire congregation to the Connecticut River valley. He was frustrated with the Massachusetts political system which only allowed church members to vote in elections. Hooker’s congregation headed to the Connecticut River valley and joined with two other towns to create their own General Court. Two years later (1639) they adopted a constitution known as the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut—the first written constitution of the American colonies.

King Phillip’s War The war, which the settlers won in 1678, was a turning point. Afterward, few Native Americans remained in New England, and those who survived were scattered. New England now belonged to the English settlers.
