Abstract
Abstract The struggle for religious liberty in Canterbury, CT, was fought over property. When the Great Awakening divided church against town, evangelical “Separates” withdrew from the establishment and launched a campaign against ecclesiastical taxation, using concepts of conscience, stewardship, and property rights to defend estates and create a voluntary religious economy.
期刊介绍：
Contributions cover a range of time periods, from before European colonization to the present, and any subject germane to New England’s history—for example, the region’s diverse literary and cultural heritage, its political philosophies, race relations, labor struggles, religious contro- versies, and the organization of family life. The journal also treats the migration of New England ideas, people, and institutions to other parts of the United States and the world. In addition to major essays, features include memoranda and edited documents, reconsiderations of traditional texts and interpretations, essay reviews, and book reviews.
