The Maine part of Massachusetts was founded by John Winthorp in 1630, while William Bradforn founded Plymouth in 1620. They consisted of either separatist (those who wish to separate from the Church of England) and Puritans (those who wish to purify the Church). Agriculture (mainly for the household) and manufacturing were the ways they earned their money.

They also had the Salem Witch Trials here, a time of terror and extreme hostility.
