Massachusetts has been significant throughout American history. Plymouth was the second permanent English settlement in North America, and colonists from England founded many of Massachusetts’s towns in the 1620s and 1630s. In the nineteenth century, Massachusetts was the first U.S. state to abolish slavery. Today, the Kennedy family is perhaps the state’s most famous, and in recent years tourism has played an ever-important role in the state's economy. Bay Staters take their vows seriously, it appears: Massachusetts may have the lowest divorce rate in the country, coming in at around 2.5 percent.
