Abstract

This paper examines the transnational themes of the early colonial history of New England. The period of the Great Migration, roughly 1620-40, was a tumultuous time in British History, and men such as Roger Williams, the founder of what would become Rhode Island, and Sir Henry Vane the Younger, an early governor of Massachusetts Bay and political figure during and after the English Civil War are looked at in this paper to demonstrate the functions they had on each side of the Atlantic in determining the course of events in both America and Britain at that time.
