Question

The Massachusetts colony got a boost from the arrival of ____ in 1629.

Answer 1

Answer:

The Massachusetts colony got a boost from the arrival of Puritans in 1629.

Explanation:

Between 1630 and 1640, Massachusetts saw the arrival of over 13,000 families that were under exodus to Massachusetts, This was known as the great migration.

The puritans migrated in order to settle and practice their own version of Protestantism without interference.

Puritan's were those people who were not contented with the way the roman catholic church practiced its beliefs, they therefore sought to purify the church.

With the arrival of this population, the Massachusetts colony got a boost, that is in terms of labor force from the new arrivals.
