Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the founding of New England, not just as a physical place, but as an idea rooted in the ideals of freedom. The author examines the deep convictions of the Pilgrims, tracing how their beliefs influenced the development of the free Church, free school, and free commonwealth - institutions that became cornerstones of American democracy. Analyzing primary source material, the author shows how these institutions were shaped by the Pilgrims' reverence for law, their belief in the dignity of all people, and their commitment to safeguarding liberty. By situating the Pilgrims' story within the context of 17th-century religious and political struggles, this book sheds light on their enduring legacy and the profound impact their ideals continue to have on American life.
