Where did many Puritans settled within which of the British colonies in North America?

Answer 1

Massachusetts

The Puritans were granted a charter by King Charles in 1629 to settle in New England and formed the Massachusetts Bay Company. In 1630, a fleet of ships carrying Puritan colonists left England for Massachusetts, seeking religious freedom. The Puritans left England due to the country's suffering economy, political crisis, where King Charles raised taxes, and the Church of England began to punish Puritans because they were dissenters. These problems led to the Great Migration.
