3 Types of British Colonies 1. Royal Colonies – owned by the king 2. Proprietary – (Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware) land grants from the British gov’t. Individuals were awarded huge tracts of land to supervise & govern in return for political/financial favors. These colonial governors reported directly to the king

3. Self-governing – (Rhode Island, Connecticut) king granted a charter to a joint-stock company; company set up its own government independent of the crown; king could revoke the colonial charter and convert to a royal colony

Calvinism  Institutes of the Christian Religion  Predestination. Good works could not save those predestined for hell. No one could be certain of their spiritual status. Gnawing doubts led to constantly seeking signs of “conversion.” Puritans:  Want to totally reform [purify] the Church of England.  Grew impatient with the slow process of Protestant Reformation back in England.
