Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Puritanism in the South This subject, Puritanism in the South, is here presented for the first time. The field is broader than at first may appear, and yet it has its limitations. The convictions expressed in the following lectures have grown out of researches covering a number of years. There should be a companion volume with the Scotch-Irish as its chief subject, for the Scotch-Irish have been the largest factor in the development of Southern life and civilization. But it has been my purpose more particularly to write of the English Puritan, although in the sketch on North Carolina there were so few of these that it was necessary to include the splendid achievements of the Scotch-Irish, with whom mutual relations always existed. It is common in public gatherings where people from the North and South are present to speak of the Puritan from the North and the Cavalier from the South. But this is a historical inaccuracy and needs correction. The largest and most influential churches in the South in colonial days were dissenting. Long before the Revolution the distinctive character of the few Cavaliers had perished, so that there is no more truth in the statement that the people of the South are Cavaliers than there would be in saying that they are all Germans.
