Question

What were the problems in Massachusetts Bay?

Answer 1

Like your first two answerers I will assume you are referring to the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

"The settlers of the Bay colony had their hardships, --the long, harsh winters, the unfertile soil, the lurking red man, often hostile, and other obstacles common to pioneer life, --but the growth of the colony was phenomenal. The great Puritan exodus continued for ten years, and by 1640 more than twenty thousand home seekers had sailed into the harbors of Masssachusetts Bay. Such a movement of population had not been known since the Crusades of the Middle Ages. Strong houses soon took the place of the early built cabins; herds of cattle, goats, and swine covered the countryside, and ships were soon carrying loads of lumber, salt fish, and furs to the mother country."

Answer 2

Do you mean the colony?  There was no freedom of religion which kept the colony semi-isolated.  If you weren't a Puritan, you were sent away.

Answer 3

As with Staisil, I ASSUME you're referring to the Massachusetts Bay Colony - as you have asked other questions which lean this way.

Please be more specific so we can answer you properly.

Religion, lack of food, supplies - you name it - they had it.
