Settlement of the Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay Colonies of New England

Description:

This lesson explores the two distinct colonies that were set up by English dissenters in New England. Part one of the lesson focuses on the Separatists, or Pilgrims, establishing a settlement at Plymouth, while part two examines the later Puritan colony of Massachusetts Bay. Often, after reading text accounts, students are not able to distinguish between Pilgrims and Puritans, nor recognize that Plymouth was not originally part of the Massachusetts Bay colony. This lesson aims to eliminate the confusion, and help students to distinguish between the two separate groups.
