Answer:
Rhode Island and Maine were colonies that were once part of Massachusetts.
Step-by-step explanation:
In 1620 the first English settlers in Massachusetts founded the Plymouth colony. Other colonizers followed the steps of these pioneers establishing new colonies in New England. In 1630 the Massachusetts Bay Colony was founded in the current Boston territory under a royal statute. In 1636 Roger Williams founded the colony of Rhode Island. In 1691 the colonies of the Bay of Massachusetts and the one of Plymouth were united with the present territory of Maine forming the Province of the Bay of Massachusetts.
