Chapter 3:
Settling the Northern Colonies, 1619 - 1700
- Focus on the Thanksgiving image
of the Pilgrims and Puritans and compare it with the historical reality. Consider
the enduring influence of the Puritans on America and the American self-image.
- Focus on Anne Hutchinson as a complex
instance of religious, political, and perhaps gender-based dissent. Consider
to what extent the hostility to her religious opinions might have been strengthened
because she was a woman challenging the male religious and political establishment.
- Compare the colonizing effort of the Dutch
in New Netherland with that of their English neighbors. Note particularly
how Peter Stuyvesants absolutist religious and political controls differed
from the much looser quality of English colonialism.
- Consider William Penn and the Quakers
as a case study in religious influence on colonial origins, and compare the
Quakers with the New England Puritans. Examine the influence on Pennsylvania
of particular Quaker beliefsuch as each individuals inner
light, social equality, and nonviolenceas well as how circumstances
altered the implementation of such beliefs.
