Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Pilgrim Fathers in Holland: Their Condition, and Their Relation to and Treatment by the Authorities and the People, With Special Reference to the Proposed Monument at Delfshaven In his discourse before the Massachusetts Historical Society at the celebration of the two hundredth anniversary of the New England Confederation of 1643, John Quincy Adams remarks: "The New England Confederation originated in the Plymouth Colony, and was probably suggested to them by the example which they had witnessed, and under which they had lived several years, in the United Netherlands." In his diplomatic mission to England in 1635 to defend the colonies of Plymouth and Massachusetts against the accusations of Thomas Morton, and to represent to the government the encroachments of the French and the Dutch, Edward Winslow seems to have had in mind some such union of the New England colonies, by his petition "to the royal commission for a special warrant to the colonies to right and defend themselves against all foreign enemies." The formation de facto of the New England Confederation was undoubtedly caused by the exigencies of the situation, the colonies of Connecticut and New Haven moving earnestly for it, through fear of the Dutch in the New Netherlands; but we may well believe that the valuable lesson of confederation as exemplified in Holland was not lost upon the New England colonies, especially upon Plymouth. To commemorate the wholesome lesson to the world and to our forefathers in particular, the toleration to the Pilgrims in the Netherlands denied them in England, and the noble lives of the Pilgrims in Holland, tablet and monument may fittingly perform a grateful office in Leyden and Delfshaven.
