Excellent content! Slaves in New England were often household workers helping with housekeeping, caring for children etc. My 6th Great Grandfather Rev Anthony Stoddard baptised his "maid" Haggar in Woodbury CT. She likely lived in the large household, was taught to read and write, etc.
I'm not sure if I heard this right but did I hear that the pilgrims left England to go to Holland 1st before coming to the Americas I may? Have missed something.
Yes they went to Holland. They liked it there, except, OMG, horrors! Their young people were learning to dance, which according to them, not according to the Bible, but according to THEM, dancing was filthy and disgusting. So, they left for the New World so they could properly clamp down on their poor kids.
@@happydays2300 Just so you know, you don't have to say "OMG" of all words to misuse, we shouldn't want to misuse the word "God". God created everything good about life and it's mankind who ruins it. God is the one person that we should revere and respect. As for this simplistic account you shared. I have yet to look into your claim, but based on what I know about the world, and based on how so many people deliberately portray people who try to live godly lives as irrational and unreasonable; I don't believe for a second that they thought that mere dancing was filthy and disgusting. I would guess that the filth and disgust they felt toward the dances was probably from observing dances that were actually perverted, which the ungodly always wind up incorporating into everything, as can be demonstrated by our present day and in ungodly cultures throughout history. This is undeniable. One thing I know for certain (and is a reason why I believe that you are deliberately skewing the account) is that they left for the new world because the king of england wouldn't cooperate with them and they wanted to worship without being being burdened by the impositions of catholicism. Also, don't just put a childish negative spin on them by saying that they wanted to "clamp down on their poor kids". It sounds like the puritans wanted to raise their children to be good and holy. that is precisely the kind of upbringing that everyone should receive. that is the kind of upbringing that will compel children to thank their parents for when they are older instead of having them say, "I wish my parents taught me the difference between right and wrong."

Americans focus on the Puritans because they formed the basis of the philosophical thinking of the country which greatly influenced how the framers of the constitution thought an ergo, the laws laid out in of the constitution itself. It began with the Mayflower compact itself, followed by the separation of church and state in the Plymouth colony, because they believe that the “strangers” (nonbelievers) and the “Saints” needed to live in harmony an ergo, marriage, and other such actions formally held under the English church needed to be civil instead….all this from Puritan philosophy. Hence the focus but yes, there’s much other stuff to cover.
Yes, your right. their colony was started after ronenok and James town. But those colonies didn't survive. Plymouth survived. The southern New world colonies were of Spanish origin. The French had north and western territory
One of mine was born on the mayflower, and was the stepson of the first governor. Perigrine White. If I have the story correct, his father died aboard ship in the bay, and his mother remarried to Mr. White.
Thank you! This course is a treasure! Do you have a lesson plan or syllabus homeschooling parents might be able to use to teach this course by? Thank you again!
What happened to the land titles of Ferdiando Gorges??? Was his rightful titles to New England lands essentially swindled from him and his son, Robert by the Massachusetts Bay Colony???
@@davisgeorgemoye9689 And it didn't help that the original 1630 Puritan settlers were starting to die out at around the same time because before they knew it, here come the Quakers.
Puritans sound like Jews. They're chosen people at birth. But also, that they study the words of God on their own. Now I understand why Boston has so many universities, has the greatest number of inquisitive stand up comedians, and has an enlightened feel to it. Its founders were readers.
Yes Puritans didn't see much value in the New Testament except in the teachings of Jesus. They practically made the Old Testament the law of the land in Massachusetts and Connecticut.
The founder of Harvard University was a Puritan teacher and the first subject taught there was Puritan theology. They trained ministers instead of lawyers. 😁
@@stephenwright8824 Very interesting. I didn't know that regarding the old testament. Do you have any suggestions of articles or books that touch on their old testament preference?
Ha, 5:06 -- Calvin taught that "what you do on earth doesn't really matter." As a Calvinist, this is quite the gross straw man. It is not at all what Calvin nor "Calvinism" teaches.
I appreciate this overview of history. I do think your view of the Puritans and "Calvinism" are a bit skewed, however. Puritans believe (and the Bible teaches) that no one is good enough to stand justified before God by their works alone; rather, all are sinners in need of a Savior (Romans 3:10). They believe that Jesus came as God in the flesh to do what none of us can do: He lived a perfect life, keeping all of God's laws. He then died in our place on the cross, taking the judgment of God the Father that we deserved (2 Corinthians 5:17-21). They believe that men are saved from judgment and gain eternal life *only* by the grace of God alone through faith alone in the Lord Jesus Christ alone (Ephesians 2:8-10, see also the Five Solas). It's better (and more Biblical) to understand their good works as fruit (i.e. evidence) that they were the elect rather than them trying to earn their spot as elect (Galatians 5:19-24, Titus 3:5, and again Ephesians 2:8-10 & 2 Cor. 5:17). Their actions evince that they have been spiritually "born again" or "regenerated" leading to belief that Jesus is Lord (Ephesians 1:11-14). It's also inaccurate to say that only men could be elect. It is God's will that people of both genders and all ethnicities, languages, etc. would be reconciled to Him (Revelation 5:9-10). Similarly, in God's design, all who place their faith in Him have all things in common regardless of race, sex, or social status (Galatians 3:27-28 - though He does have differing roles for men and women on earth, but they are equal in worth/importance). There are so many other references - Biblical and historical - I could give if desired for either point.
I thought it was the other way around. All Puritans were pilgrims, but not all pilgrims were Puritans. I understood that the Puritans only applied to America. so pilgrims could include any people who travelled to America, not all of whom were puritans.
We messed it up badly though, in one important way. We slaughtered all the men in one village not knowing that Pequot society was matrilineal. The women just found new husbands outside the tribe and their kids reestablished it by virtue of their lineage.
Please provide evidence that pilgrims settled in Plymouth illegally. I have only read that the ship was just off course and landed on Cape Cod. They had no choice but to find more secure land in “Plymouth” ALSO read that the Dutch advised them to settle in New Amsterdam- or on the Hudson. Ar the time, Virginia stretched to the Hudson.
You are right. The Mayflower was blown off course so they decided to stay there. We have to remember that " history " by definition is " his story " so take any historian's account with this in mind.
@@richardkean5100no, history is not "his story". That's garbage. The word history comes from the word historia, which meant the art of inquiry, or the act of seeking knowledge. The evidence that the mayflower settled illegally is that they were subject is the king, and they settled on land that they did not have a charter for. By definition, that was illegal. It would be like you buying a piece of land in California, but building your house in Texas. You would have no legal claim to the land you're on. In the pilgrim's case, the land they settled was claimed by the king, so they were squatters.
@stevescuba1978 you are right on that point but those who interpret what they see and hear can be a matter of ones own opinion. So, by definition, it's ' his story. '
@@richardkean5100 I suppose, if you're playing semantic games, why not. However, much of history is corroborated by multiple sources, and are probably generally reliable....at least once written records became prevalent

Calvin died in 1564, the same year Shakespeare was born .
UM…..It’s Samoset that walked in and said “what’s up dudes”….Squanto came a bit later with Massasoit, the sachem.
