Synopsis: |
This book presents a unique perspective on life in Colonial England, exposing many misconceptions and depicting how elements of its culture that are typically regarded as marginal-such as the activities of pirates-actually had an extensive impact of the populace. * Provides readers with an understanding of the nature of religious sentiment in Colonial America, which was characterized by a desire to have religious freedom for themselves but not for others * Depicts the constant rebellion and subsequent cruelty inherent to colonial society * Examines the majority underclass populations, such as indentured servants, Native Americans, and African Americans * Addresses myths about Puritan women, marriage, sex, and child raising |
