Introduction Slides (Interesting/General info)

Slavery in Massachusetts was not common, but they did have a large ship
for the slaves. The ship was called the Mayflower. Slaves would board it to
go to Massachusetts. This ship was not a tall ship it was a medium size
ship. This region was not a bad place. This is a peaceful place. I say it is
peaceful because there is not that much slavery. Well it is not 100%
peaceful. This region is like 83% peaceful. Thats only because there not
that much slavery. Did you know that Massachusetts was the least harmful
state out of the 13 colonies.

Colony was found in 1630 by John Winthrop and other
Puritans at Massachusetts Bay. He founded it because they
