After 1660, England began to view Massachusetts as a troublemaker due to its defiance of royal authority, particularly in its refusal to submit to the Navigation Acts and its growing independence in governance. The Puritan leadership in Massachusetts was increasingly resistant to Crown control, fostering tensions between the colony and England. Conversely, the people of Massachusetts held similar opinions of England, perceiving the Crown's attempts to assert control as threats to their religious and political autonomy. This mutual distrust evolved as both sides became entrenched in their positions, leading to escalating conflicts over governance and rights.
