The Great Migration to North America
• Between 1620 – 1640, new colonies
developed in North America due to
the Great Migration of Religious
Refugees from England.
• The Protestant Reformation and
English Civil War created a hostile
Religious and Political atmosphere
in England by the 1620’s.
• Church members who adopted a reformed theology called Calvinism
became known as Puritans.
• These New England Colonies included Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
Connecticut, and New Hampshire.

Developments in New England
• In 1620, 120 settlers sailed from England to the

people known as Pilgrims, Quakers, and
Baptists.

exploit the rich Fur Trade in
North America.

Anglo-Dutch Wars, the
colony was formally turned
over to the British and was
renamed New York.
• The acquisition of this colony linked the New England Colonies to the
Southern Colonies.

• On March 4, 1681, King Charles II granted a Royal
Charter to a large parcel of land in North America

a Charter to eight noblemen as the Lord Proprietors in 1663.

• Although these lords and their
heirs controlled the colony from
1663 to 1729, the territory was
divided between the northern
and southern halves in 1712.

Proprietors resulted in the
appointment of a Royal Governor in 1720.
