Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the history of East-Hampton, New York from its founding in 1649 to the year 1800. The colonists arrived for religious and political freedom in the era of the English civil wars. They purchased land from Native American tribes and founded a self-governing community. They exhibited a free and popular government, free religious practice, and equal justice for all. The town was relatively peaceful and prosperous, as evidenced by the large number of inhabitants who lived to an advanced age, several of them reaching 100 years. The author examines the community's adoption and adaptation of English law, their dealings with the Native Americans, and their struggles with the colonial authorities. This well-researched and detailed historical account sheds light on the foundations of democracy and religious freedom in America.
