Adventures in Colonial America: Volume 1: The Massachusetts Bay Colony: From One Small Settlement to a Colonial Powerhouse

Adventures in Colonial America is the print version of the website of the same name, http: //adventuresincolonialamerica.com. Each issue is published quarterly and focuses on one of the original thirteen American colonies, with emphasis on the people, places and events that played important roles in unifying British colonists in North America, with different economic, social and political backgrounds, as they moved toward independence. The first in the 13-part series is "The Massachusetts Bay Colony: From One Small Settlement to a Colonial Powerhouse" and presents information about the settlement and economic expansion of the colony, education, law and religion, King William's War, The Battles of Lexington and Concord, and The Boston Massacre. The reader will also become familiar with the basic principles that became the foundation upon which the U.S.' federal, state and local governments were based and the important protections that are provided to Americans today.
