'''Massachusetts Bay Colony''' (not to be confused with the nearby [[Plymouth Colony]]) was founded in [[Boston]] in 1630 by English [[Puritans]].The name "Massachusetts" came from the Algonquian Indian word that means "a big hill place." The Puritans wished to set up a religious society away from [[England]]. The Puritans were members of the [[Anglican Church]] who were dissenting against the new [[Catholic]] monarchs and the influence of the Pope in the Church of England. The Puritans were influenced by [[John Calvin]]. The colony was a [[theocracy]]. John Winthrop was the colony's first Governor. The Puritans did not tolerate other religious views. [[Quakers]], [[Baptist]]s, [[Catholics]], and [[Jews]] were hanged in Boston. [[Roger Williams]] and [[Anne Hutchinson]] were forced from the colony due to dissenting political beliefs. Williams founded the colonies of [[Rhode Island]] and [[Connecticut]], and after living for a short time in Rhode Island, Hutchinson settled in what is today [[New York]].
