3c. Massachusetts Bay — "The City Upon a Hill"

This woodcut print represents the earliest known map of New England in 1677. The map maker will display the west north and the north to the right.

Passengers leaving Avella in the UK in 1630 have a good vision in their new charter. They will be role models for legal life in other parts of the world. Future Governor John Winthrop is very clear about their purpose.

In that year, Avella was one of the 11 vessels that carried thousands of Puritans in Massachusetts. This is the biggest former company in the history of the New World in the UK. According to the governor, passengers are determined to be signs of "Christian charity" in other parts of Europe

John Winthrop brings Albera to the new world. He was elected repeatedly to the Massachusetts Bay Colonial Governor and was dismissed

Puritan believed in fate. This doctrine claims that God is omnipotent and omniscient, and therefore the fate of each soul is known to God at birth. Neither can individuals do what they can and can not change their ultimate destiny. Puritan believed that God chose to save the people - the voters - would experience "transformation". In this process, God will reveal its grace to the individual, and this man will know that he was saved.

Only voters can serve as a member of the church. If a person is truly saved he will only have actions approved by God. These 'living saints' will be role models for the rest of the world. In the early days, ministers like John Cotton had carefully screened those who claim to be converted.

The colony needs more than just an eager church to survive. Many opponents - Christians and men are not converted - also live in the position of the Massachusetts Bay. A town like Marblehead was built by immigrants other than Puritan. In business, Puritan allowed this. A vibrant economy needs a lot of skills

A parliament elected reflecting the autonomous aspirations already seen in other British colonies was established. Although ministers are prohibited from a political standpoint, much of the most important decisions are made by clergy. In 1636, Harvard University was established to train Puritan 's pastor.

By the end of the 1630's, about 14,000 Puritan colonists came to Massachusetts as part of Puritan's "great move" leaving the UK, and the colony began to spread. In 1691 Plymouth's colony, which had not yet had a charter flight, was absorbed in the west by their new neighbors.

This wonderful experiment seems to have been very successful in the first several decades. But at the end of the day, worldly concerns caused a decline in religious zeal as the seventeenth century became older.

Evidence # 1: The great impact on settlers in the Massachusetts Bay is religion. As I learned through reading like a town on the top of the mountain, the colonies of the Massachusetts Bay were colonized in America due to religious freedom. It is completely different from the colony of Virginia. Religion and a close community are not the southern objectives. The purpose of the Virginia colony is to earn money quickly by making the most of the land. Analysis # 2: As in colonial times, leading the civil war lifestyle in northern cities is still very similar to the colonial community. Because people approach each other and have a community style lifestyle. The spread of agricultural life still exists in the south

Many Americans inherited the tradition of "the city on the mountain", asserting myth that their country is "the leader of the free world", and John Winthrop of the Massachusetts Bay Colonial Government first proposed this tradition for the first time . In fact, records of violence and invasion in the United States can be traced back to its establishment, but especially after the end of World War II America became the world 's leading superpower. "We have about 50% of the world's wealth, but we have only 3% of the population ... In this case, we should not be subject to jealousy and indignation" It was. South pointed out the plan document of 1948 on the policy of the State Council. "The real challenge for us in the future is to design a relationship model that will allow us to maintain this gap without adversely affecting national security."
