The Emancipation Of Massachusetts (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161462128)

The Emancipation of Massachusetts is a non-fiction book written by Brooks Adams in 1887. The book is a historical account of the political and social changes that occurred in Massachusetts during the 17th and 18th centuries. Adams argues that Massachusetts was the first state to achieve true political and social freedom, and that this freedom was achieved through a series of events that began with the Puritan Revolution in the 17th century.The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the Puritan Revolution and the establishment of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Adams describes the religious and political beliefs of the Puritans, their struggles with the English government, and the establishment of the Massachusetts government. He also discusses the role of the Puritans in the American Revolution and the formation of the United States.The second part of the book focuses on the political and social changes that occurred in Massachusetts during the 18th century. Adams describes the rise of the merchant class and the decline of the Puritan aristocracy. He also discusses the role of Massachusetts in the American Revolution and the formation of the United States.Overall, The Emancipation of Massachusetts is a detailed and insightful account of the political and social changes that occurred in Massachusetts during the colonial and revolutionary periods. The book is well-researched and provides a valuable perspective on the history of the United States.And so it was with the Puritans, who were themselves the children of the revolt against social corruption. They fondly believed that a new era was to be ushered in by the rule of the Cromwellian saints. What the Cromwellian saints did in truth usher in, was the carnival of debauchery of Charles II, in its turn to be succeeded by the capitalistic competitive age which we have known, and which has abutted in the recent war.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
