Columbus and the other European explorers landing in the "new" world caused a massive outbreak of disease due to the lack of acquired immunity held by the native populations in North America.

The Wilmot Proviso refers to the failed proposal of 1846 in the United States Congress to abolish slavery in regions acquired from Mexico during the war between Mexico and America.
The compromise of 1850 was responsible for finally putting a stop to the ongoing disputes over slavery in the Southwest.
The New England colonists were predominantly Puritans who led strict religious lives. Laws in these colonies assumed that citizens who strayed away from conventional religious customs were a threat to civil order and should be punished for their nonconformity.
Roger Williams (1603 – 1683) was himself a puritan minister from Massachusetts Bay Colony. In his view, any civil authorities had no right to involve themselves in matter of faith. Banished from Massachusetts in 1635, he founded Rhode Island, the first colony with no established church and the first society in America to grant liberty of conscience to everyone.
Massachusetts Bay Colony was therefore the New England colony that did not require all adults to attend church service.
