Lesson 13: Massachusetts Bay Colony

The Massachusetts Bay Colony was unique because it:  Contained a feature that allowed the government of the company to be located in the colony rather than England.  Governors were chosen from church men of the colony as well.

John Winthrop advocates a social philosophy for the Massachusetts Bay Colony that emphasized: 
Social reciprocity.  He indicated that there should be a mutual exchange of support among the members of the colony.
