Question: When did the first settlers come to the state where Ridgway B. Knight was educated?

<P0-S0> Massachusetts was first colonized by principally English Europeans in the early 17th century, and became the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in the 18th century. <P0-S1> Prior to English colonization of the area, it was inhabited by a variety of mainly Algonquian language indigenous tribes. <P0-S2> It set precedents but never grew large. <P0-S3> A large - scale Puritan migration began in 1630 with the establishment of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and spawned the settlement of other New England colonies. <P0-S4> Friction with the natives erupted in the high - casualty King Philip's War in the 1670s. <P0-S5> Puritanism was the established religion and was strictly enforced; dissenters were exiled. <P0-S6> The Colony clashed with Anglican opponents in England over its religious intolerance and the status of its charter. <P0-S7> Most people were farmers. <P0-S8> Businessmen established wide - ranging trade links, sending ships to the West Indies and Europe, and sometimes shipping goods in violation of the Navigation Acts. <P0-S9> The first permanent English settlement in New England came in 1620 with the founding of Plymouth Colony by the Pilgrims who sailed on the Mayflower. <P0-S10> These political and trade issues led to the revocation of the Massachusetts charter in 1684. <SEP> <P1-S0> The MIT Blackjack Team was a group of students and ex-students from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard Business School, Harvard University, and other leading colleges who used card counting techniques and more sophisticated strategies to beat casinos at blackjack worldwide. <P1-S1> The team and its successors operated successfully from 1979 through the beginning of the 21st century. <P1-S2> Many other blackjack teams have been formed around the world with the goal of beating the casinos. <SEP> <P2-S0> the movement to create a territory within the present boundaries of colorado followed nearly immediately. <P2-S1> citizens of denver and golden pushed for territorial status of the newly settled region within a year of the founding of the towns. <P2-S2> the movement was promoted by william byers, publisher of the rocky mountain news, and by larimer, who aspired to be the first territorial governor. <P2-S3> in 1859, settlers established the territory of jefferson, and held elections, but the united states congress did not recognize the territory, and it never gained legal status. <SEP> <P3-S0> the first derivations of relativity of simultaneity by synchronization with light signals were also simplified. <P3-S1> daniel frost comstock (1910) placed an observer in the middle between two clocks a and b. from this observer a signal is sent to both clocks, and in the frame in which a and b are at rest, they synchronously start to run. <P3-S2> but from the perspective of a system in which a and b are moving, clock b is first set in motion, and then comes clock a – so the clocks are not synchronized. <P3-S3> also einstein (1917) created a model with an observer in the middle between a and b. however, in his description two signals are sent from a and b to the observer. <P3-S4> from the perspective of the frame in which a and b are at rest, the signals are sent at the same time and the observer "is hastening towards the beam of light coming from b, whilst he is riding on ahead of the beam of light coming from a. hence the observer will see the beam of light emitted from b earlier than he will see that emitted from a. observers who take the railway train as their reference-body must therefore come to the conclusion that the lightning flash b took place earlier than the lightning flash a." <SEP> <P4-S0> The son of American parents living in Paris (painter Louis Aston Knight and Caroline Ridgeway Brewster), he studied and graduated from Harvard Business School in 1931. <P4-S1> Following his studies, Knight began importing French wine to the US, and in 1942 took part in organizing the US landing in Algeria.
