Histoire : Les 120 pèlerins du Mayflower fondèrent le premier établissement à Plymouth en 1620. De nombreux puritains anglais s'installèrent dans la colonie (charte de 1629) établissant un régime théocratique et parfois persécuteur. Boston prit au XVIIIe siècle la tête du mouvement d'indépendance, et la guerre d'Indépendance commença dans la colonie. Bien que particulariste, le Massachusetts ratifia la Constitution en 1788. 5, record 1, French, - Massachusetts
