Breen and Innes: "Myne Owne Ground": Race and
Freedom on Virginia's Eastern Shore (1980)
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) In the seventeenth century, blacks who were
either slaves or indentured servants had, at least
in one part of the South, a unique window of
opportunity open to freedom. Their story is seldom
known, and worth a closer look because of the
lessons it teaches about the power of free markets
and personal freedom. In "Myne Owne Ground,"
professors, T. H. Breen and Stephen Innes describe
settlements on the Eastern Shore of Virginia
between the years 1640 and 1680, and reflect the
impacts these free blacks had on the surrounding
community. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Calvinism and Puritanism: Connections Through History
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page discussion of the history of the Puritans. The author contends that this history is considerably more extensive than that that unfolded in the “New World”. Indeed, the Puritans are integrally connected to Scotland and a man known as John Calvin. Puritans were followers of Calvin’s radical new approach to religion. The reverberations of that approach would reach far beyond Scotland and into the Americas as well as the rest of the world. Not only would it shape the actions of the Puritans themselves, it would determine the way they would interact with others throughout history. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Cavaliers and the Puritans: From England to the Americas
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page discussion of the integral differences between the Puritans and the Cavaliers. Traces the groups from their origin in England to their exploits in the Americas. The author of this paper contends that the Puritans were seeking to establish a new Jerusalem, a place where justice and fairness would prevail. The Puritans’ reluctance to move into new areas of the New World meant that the majority of their impact was restricted to the northern portion of what would eventually become the United States. In contrast, the Cavaliers were more interested in expanding their areas of control. Their influence would quickly spread from the Northeast into the South. Much of their philosophy centered around capturing control of and taming the “New World” and its people. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
