Final answer:
Thomas founded the Connecticut colony due to disagreements with Massachusetts' church leaders. The incorrect founder-colony pairing is William Brewster with New Haven; Brewster was associated with Plymouth.
Step-by-step explanation:
The colony of Connecticut was founded by Thomas due to a disagreement with church leaders in Massachusetts. In 1636, Reverend Thomas, a pastor and proponent of expanded suffrage, received permission to move his congregation from Massachusetts Bay to what became Connecticut. This founding was part of a greater movement within New England where challenging the existing religious orthodoxy could lead to the establishment of new colonies, such as Rhode Island by Roger Williams.
As for the question about the incorrect pairing of founders and colonies, the incorrect option is c. William Brewster/ New Haven. William Brewster was a leader of the Plymouth Colony, not New Haven. The correct pairings are a. John Winthrop/Massachusetts Bay, b. William Bradford/Plymouth, and d. Thomas/Connecticut.
