Question

Select the two colonies we learned about in these lessons which are labeled A and B on the map.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Massachusetts

B. Rhode Island

Explanation:

This are two provinces located on the shores of Atlantic sea.

The province of Massachusetts Bay was first settled by the British in the 1620s and became a colony. The colony was named after the Massachusetts Indians; the Algonquian tribe that inhabited the land.  Between 1760 and 1770, the colony was frustrated by London politics. Local leaders disliked governors sent to implement policies and set off frequent riots. On May 1, 1776, the Massachusetts Congress made a decision to declare independence, and on July 4, 1776, the colony adopted the Declaration of Independence United States and became the state of Massachusetts.

The Rhode Island was a colony of the Kingdom of England between 1636 and 1707 before becoming a colony of the Kingdom of Great Britain. It was initially settled by the Narragansett Indians. The first Europeans came to the colony in the early 1620s. In 1636, theologian Roger William was banished from the Massachusetts Bay colony. He settled in the area with his followers and called it the Providence plantation. A year later, several Massachusetts dissidents bought the island from the Indians and invited them to Rhode Island. The two settlements became a haven for persecuted Christians, and on July 4, 1776, they adopted the United States Declaration of Independence. Today, the country is popularly known as the state of Rhode Island.
