Why slavery? Can slaves make that big business for colonies to make money?

Well it did help some colonies. Mostly it depended what affairs the colony's were dealing with. But for most colonies it did help them. They used the slaves to grow crops build structures(buildings,houses,etc..etc..). It also helped them speed their business a lot. In Massachusetts, there wasn't much slavery going on. But compared to all colony's, it was a major contribution to Colonial America.

Why was religion important to the colony?

The Putrians wanted to create a colony where they would be free to practice their religion, but anyone who wanted to live in their colony had to believe in what they all believed in and had to follow all the rules. In 1692, King Charles The First, began to take action against the Putritans. John Winthrop decided to join and help colonize the Massechussets Bay Colony and later became the govonor for 12 years. Mainly, religion was important to them because if they believed in God/Jesus, it prevented them from God's Wrath also known as hell. Also, the more they prayed and read the bible, the more they were forgiven from sins. - Aisha

Why was education important and who was educated?

The Putrians want the children to read the bible and learn the path to heaven so they passed a law. Every parent had to teach their kids to read the bible. Several families went to one school and learned to read, write and do arithmetic/math. -Aisha
