Superb.

6. Joint-Stock Colony: Massachusetts Bay; Charter Colony: Rhode Island; Proprietary Colony: New York; Royal Colony: Virginia

Good.

7. No, the Puritans were not right to expel people of other religons. Everyone should have the right to worship in whatever way they want. However, I do understand why they expelled people of other religions. The Puritans were probably afraid of people who believed in different things converting the Puritan citizens.

Well done.
