The idea
A larger exodus in the sixteen thirties founded Massachusetts Bay, New Haven, Connecticut and Rhode Island, bringing families with children and university-trained ministers, not the Chesapeake's male labourers.
In practice
Puritans setting up English America's first printing press in sixteen thirty-six, and the Bay Psalm Book in sixteen forty.
Where people slip
Church membership required a conversion narrative, and towns excluded outsiders to protect local work.
