The first in the 13-part series is "The Massachusetts Bay Colony: From One Small Settlement to a Colonial Powerhouse" and presents information about the settlement and economic expansion of the colony, education, law and religion, King William's War, The Battles of Lexington and Concord, and The Boston Massacre.
