| 14675632357 | Calvinism | Dominant theological credo of the New England Puritans based on the teachings of John Calvin. Calvinists believed in predestination—that only "the elect" were destined for salvation. | 0 | |
| 14675632358 | predestination | Calvinist doctrine that God has foreordained some people to be saved and some to be damned. Though their fate was irreversible, Calvinists, particularly those who believed they were destined for salvation, sought to lead sanctified lives in order to demonstrate to others that they were in fact members of the "elect." |  | 1 |
| 14675632359 | conversion | Intense religious experience that confirmed an individual's place among the "elect," or the "visible saints." Calvinists who experienced conversion were then expected to lead sanctified lives to demonstrate their salvation. | 2 | |
| 14675632360 | Puritans | English Protestant reformers who sought to purify the Church of England of Catholic rituals and creeds. Some of the most devout Puritans believed that only "visible saints" should be admitted to church membership. |  | 3 |
| 14675632361 | Separatists | Small group of Puritans who sought to break away entirely from the Church of England; after initially settling in Holland, a number of English Separatists made their way to Plymouth Bay, Massachusetts in 1620. | 4 | |
| 14675632362 | Mayflower Compact (1620) | Agreement to form a government by will of the majority in Plymouth, signed aboard the Mayflower. Created a foundation for self-government in the colony. |  | 5 |
| 14675632363 | Massachusetts Bay Colony | (Founded in 1630) Established by non-separating Puritans, it soon grew to be the largest and most influential of the New England colonies. |  | 6 |
| 14675632364 | Great English Migration (1630-1642) | Migration of seventy thousand refugees from England to the North American colonies, primarily New England and the Caribbean. The twenty thousand migrants who came to Massachusetts largely shared a common sense of purpose—to establish a model Christian settlement in the new world. | 7 | |
| 14675632365 | antinomianism | Belief that the elect need not obey the law of either God or man; most notably espoused in the colonies by Anne Hutchinson. |  | 8 |
| 14675632366 | Fundamental Orders (1639) | Drafted by settlers in the Connecticut River Valley, document was the first "modern constitution" establishing a democratically controlled government.

Its collapse after the Glorious Revolution in England demonstrated colonial opposition to strict royal control. | 13 | |
| 14675632372 | Navigation Laws | Series of laws passed, beginning in 1651, to regulate colonial shipping; the acts provided that only English ships would be allowed to trade in English and colonial ports, and that all goods destined for the colonies would first pass through England. |  | 14 |
| 14675632373 | Glorious (or Bloodless) Revolution (1688-1689) | Relatively peaceful overthrow of the unpopular Catholic monarch, James II, replacing him with Dutch-born William III and Mary, daughter of James II. William and Mary accepted increased Parliamentary oversight and new limits on monarchical authority. | 15 | |
| 14675632374 | salutary neglect (1688-1763) | Unofficial policy of relaxed royal control over colonial trade and only weak enforcement of Navigation Laws. Lasted from the Glorious Revolution to the end of the French and Indian War in 1763. | 16 | |

| 14675632380 | William Bradford | Erudite leader of the separatist Pilgrims who left England for Holland, and eventually sailed on the Mayflower to establish the first English colony in Massachusetts. His account of the colony's founding, Of Plymouth Plantation, remains a classic of American literature and in indispensable historical source. |  | 21 |
| 14675632381 | John Winthrop | First governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony. An able administrator and devout Puritan, he helped ensure the prosperity of the newly-established colony and enforce Puritan orthodoxy, taking a hard line against religious dissenters like Anne Hutchinson. |  | 22 |
| 14675632382 | Anne Hutchinson | Antinomian religious dissenter brought to trial for heresy in Massachusetts Bay after arguing that she need not follow God's laws or man's, and claiming direct revelation from God.

| 14675632385 | Metacom (King Phillip) | Wampanoag chief who led a brutal campaign against Puritan settlements in New England between 1675 and 1676. Though he himself was eventually captured and killed, his wife and son sold into slavery, his assault halted New England's westward expansion for several decades. |  | 26 |
| 14675632386 | Charles II | Assumed the throne with the restoration of the monarchy in 1660. He sought to establish firm control over the colonies, ending the period of relative independence on the American mainland. |  | 27 |
| 14675632387 | Sir Edmond Andros | Much loathed administrator of the Dominion of New England, which was created in 1686 to strengthen imperial control over the New England colonies. He established strict control, doing away with town meetings and popular assemblies and taxing colonists without their consent. When word of the Glorious Revolution in England reached the colonists, they promptly dispatched he back to England. |  | 28 |
