It was
The New England colonies (Plymouth, Massachusetts Bay, Connecticut, New Haven, New Hampshire, Rhode Island) were charter colonies -- they had charters from the king.
Maryland, Georgia, Delaware, and Pennsylvania were proprietary. Royal colonies included Virginia, both Carolinas, New York, and probably New Jersey. The king appointed the governors of these colonies, and colonial profits went to the king's treasury.

Yes, Massachusetts was a colony of England but the people living there were not the best examples of English colonists in the 17th (1600s) century. The people residing in Mass. were Puritans, a radical, for that time, religion. They were giving land in America to sort of get rid of them so that the Monarch wouldn't have to deal with them. As for economic development, most were farmers and fishermen. Hope that helps!

If you live in or near Mass, then you should visit Plimoth Plantation which would be very helpful to your project. If you don't, then maybe they could send you some info if you asked. Another place to look would be the library. Get a couple of books on Massachusetts history.
