Who was the leader of the puritans and first governor of the massachusetts colony? a. john rolfe b. john smith c. john winthrop d. sir walter raleigh

Your answer will be B John Smith. He was the leader of the puritains. 

Hello! I can help you with this question! It was not John Smith, because he was the leader of the Jamestown colony. John Rolfe doesn't work either, because he got with Pocahontas, who was from Jamestown. Sir Walter Raleigh is incorrect, because he was in the Roanoke colony. John Winthrop was the first governor of the Massachusetts colony. The answer is C: John Winthrop.
