John Winthrop byl klíčovou postavou v počátcích Nové Anglie a vlivným vůdcem puritánské komunity v Massachusetts Bay Colony. Jeho vize a pragmatismus formovaly rané osídlení, které se později stalo Bostonem. Winthropova oddanost kalvinistickým principům ovlivnila politickou a společenskou strukturu kolonie a jeho spisy poskytují cenný vhled do myšlení raných amerických osadníků. Jeho odkaz spočívá v založení společenství, které se stalo základem budoucího státu.
