The document summarizes the early New England colonies established by the Pilgrims and Puritans in the 17th century. The Pilgrims arrived in 1620 seeking religious freedom as separatists from the Church of England. A second group of Puritans led by John Winthrop arrived in 1630, also seeking religious freedom to worship as they wanted and serve as an example to others. The cold climate and rocky soil of New England made large-scale agriculture difficult, so colonists largely subsisted through small-scale farming and industries like shipbuilding that utilized the region's tall white pine trees.
