Last time, we spent our episode discussing the causes of the Great Migration from England. We looked at the changing economic and religious atmosphere during the 1630s as Charles I did all he could to alienate the Puritans in England. This week we jump across the Atlantic and watch as the Great Migration begins to flood people into the new Massachusetts Bay Colony. Virtually overnight Massachusetts is going to become the dominate colony in New England, a position it will continue to hold for the next century and a half.
