Protestant Reformation • The German friar Martin Luther started religious reforms called the Protestant Reformation during the early 1500s. • King Henry VIII of England breaks ties with the Roman Catholic church-1530s- and makes himself the head of the English church (Anglican church). • “Puritans” want to completely wipe away all Catholic rituals and beliefs from the church of England.
Puritans and the Massachusetts Bay Company • Agreed to admit only “visible saints” to church membership • In 1629, the non-separatist Puritans approved the royal charter to form the Massachusetts Bay Company. • The Great Migration (1630-1642)- about 14,000 English people immigrated to the Bay colony. • Only Puritans-”visible saints”- were allowed to vote. • Dissenters were banished from the colony; Anne Hutchinson and Roger Williams were few of them. • Governor Winthrop declared that the Mass. Bay colony would be “a city upon a hill” for they believed that they had a covenant with God to create a holy society; a paragon of all.
Separatists and the Plymouth Colony • Negotiated with the Virginia Company in order to step into the New World. • The Mayflower Compact(1620)-majority rule policy. • William Bradford- He was chosen to be the governor of the Plymouth colony from 1621-1657.

An epidemic swept across the Indian lands; it killed ¾ of the Indians. As the new English settlers pushed the Indians more inland, hostility grew. The Wampanoag Indians led by their chieftain, Metacom, or King Philip, destroyed and attacked many English frontiers and towns. The English defeated and killed King Philip. No Indians seriously threatened the New England colonies again. Governor Winthrop formed the New England Confederation in 1643 for defense against potential foes such as the Indians and the French.
