The Massachusetts Bay Colony was the first colony of Puritans to come to North America. It was on the east coast of North America around Boston and the Salem areas and was founded in the 17th century. As many know, the Puritans came by sea, on a ship called the Mayflower, and had many more ships to follow. The puritans knew it was a difficult journey and that it would be a difficult task to create a new settlement out of nothing. But eventually they completed there tasks and let go of their fears of the journey by sea. After a while, they even established a congress for the area they were living in, now a days Massachusetts. Some congressmen there were John Cotton, Roger Williams, and Thomas Hooker. The English were very angry with the puritans because so many people followed them to the new world and that meant that so many people left England. King James I and Prince Charles I attempted to stop the Puritan movement, but all their tries were hopeless.
