Colony Puritans settled in Massachusetts Bay. They were originally members of the Church of England, but they wanted to change some of their practices and will soon split from the Church. after separation each people launching their own church, called the Congregation, and taxpayers are obliged by law to support it. For a long time, every voter in Massachusetts had to be a member of the Congregational Church. Dissidents and critics who appeared among the Puritans frowned upon and sometimes severely punished, executed or in the exile in the desert. The first English colony in America to grant religious freedom as a matter of law and was originally a branch of Massachusetts, initially call of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. It was founded by settlers from England, but by the inhabitants of the Mass that rebelled against the teachings and practices of the Puritans. This broad tolerance extended even to the Quakers and Jews. In 1663 all municipalities broke into a separate colony. Congregational Church was the established church in Connecticut, New Haven, and made settlements along Long Island from 1662 to 1818 (!)
