Description
In 'The Beginnings of New England', John Fiske offers a thought-provoking analysis of the Puritan theocracy and its impact on civil and religious liberties in America. Originally delivered as a series of lectures, Fiske's work explores the historical roots of New England's settlement and examines the principles that shaped the region up to the Revolution of 1689. While not seeking to justify the Puritan's obvious flaws, Fiske offers a nuanced perspective on the era, highlighting both its strengths and weaknesses. With chapters on the Puritan Exodus, the New England Confederacy, and King Philip's War, 'The Beginnings of New England' is an essential read for anyone interested in American history.
