Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Textile Education Among the Puritans The more spectacular religious and governmental oppressions of that day often overshadow the economic conditions which were fundamental elements in the settlement of New England by the English. England had been growing poorer in common with continental Europe. Population had gradually grown, and the primitive conditions of husbandry failed to increase crops commensurate with the greater consumption, and handiwork had not received the aid of machinery to develop the larger production of cloth. None are too poor to fight and the burden of wars, both civil and foreign, throughout Europe perhaps developed irritation and discontent of poverty which made taxation by the state and rates of the church especially onerous burdens. The whole story of daily existence in Europe was told by the Pilgrim author in three words, "Life was hard." The details of war, rather that the greater victories of peace, usurp the pages of history, and in like manner the printed books of colonial days are largely devoted to polemics among the clergy, relations with the Indians, and a great amount of petty legislation inevitable with the conditions of a new country, while the events of daily life which led to substantial results in the founding of a nation were rarely printed, and such as exist were, for the most part, found in old letters, inventories and accounts. Outside of the daily press, a comparable condition as to the record of commercial affairs, exists with us today.
