The founding of English colonies in modern Massachusetts combined a strange mix of idealism and violence. Miles Standish contributed important protection to the early colonies by using violence. Benjamin Church provided vital leadership to protect the colonies during King Philip's War. Despite all of this violence, the colonies were also founded on religious idealism. It is important to understand the full history of these areas because this is what Americans generally consider to be our nation's beginning.

Miles Standish contributed important protection to the early colonies by using violence. Standish stabbed Wituwamat with his own knife, because he thought that he was going to attack them later. Also, he invades an Indian village and scares Indians and they try to run through walls of a wigwam.

Benjamin Church provided vital leadership to protect the colonies during King Philip's War. Church attacked the camp in a midnight raid were king Philip was an killed him.

Despite all of this violence, the colonies were also founded on religious idealism. They had the blue laws(only on sundays), no work, no hunting, no shopping, no shaving. Made a school (Harvard).
