Final answer:
The Cavaliers, who were English settlers, initially settled colonies like Jamestown and later were among the groups that founded the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Cavaliers were a group of English settlers who colonized various parts of the Americas. After England consolidated power and encouraged New World exploration, the Virginia Company, chartered by King James I, sent expeditions to what is now the eastern coast of North America. One of these expeditions established Jamestown in 1607 as the first permanent English town in North America. Subsequently, in 1620, the Pilgrims, a group of persecuted Puritans, also seeking religious liberty, settled in Cape Cod, and in 1630, another group of Puritans founded the Massachusetts Bay Colony at Boston.
