He would not be allowed to leave during his contracted bondage, and would be treated like an escaped slave who committed a crime if he tried to escape a cruel master. Although, unlike a slave if his master was honest, he would be set freed and given a new start in life at the end of the contracted period. 20-year-old Puritan bride in the Massachusetts Bay Colony: This bride likely would have been subjected to tremendous religious prejudice and persecution back in her native England. After suffering a long and grueling passage to the colony, she would have faced conditions she had never experienced in England -- a rough life, difficult farming conditions,...

If she survived and she was lucky enough to have a good relationship with her husband, she would have seen the beginnings of a new society and community. However, rather than based on later American ideals like liberty and tolerance, this 'shining city on a hill' would be based upon Puritan religious precepts and governed by stringent, theocratic leadership. But if this bride and her husband could adjust to farming in America, they could create a new life for their children in a land where they would not be forced to worship as members of the Church of England.
