Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the turbulent early years of the first chartered government in Massachusetts, shedding light on the paradoxical relationship between self-governance and religious extremism. As the colony grappled with establishing its own laws, a powerful clergy emerged, wielding their influence to create a theocracy that suppressed dissent and sowed the seeds of persecution. The author meticulously examines key events such as the banishment of Roger Williams and the infamous witch trials, demonstrating how the pursuit of religious purity corrupted the very ideals of liberty and justice enshrined in the charter. By contrasting the democratic aspirations of the colonists with the authoritarian tendencies of the dominant church, this book offers a sobering lesson about the fragility of self-governance and the dangers of unchecked religious zeal. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

From the preface: "History had long shown that no sovereignty, christian or pagan, could ever establish religion by law without persecution; yet our sovereign ancestors attempted it, and were guilty of persecution as these letters will show. It cost them more than a century's teaching, and much blood and treasure, to learn, that, to every individual, belongs the culture of his own religion; and that the office of government is to protect him merely in that labor.
