America: “the land of the free,” - or at least that’s how the saying goes. As historians unearth more artifacts and primary sources, it is suggested that this was not always the case in early colonial America. Religious freedom appeared free, but only if you believed as the governing officials believed; while social equality was only extended to beings who fit a certain criterion. This is certainly not the freedom we associate America with today, and we can thank a menagerie of people for their taboo practices that brought us our liberties today. Among said menagerie is Anne Hutchinson: a woman whose fascinating thoughts led to bedlam and a trial in the Puritan Massachusetts Bay Colony.

Within the New World, individuals such as William Bradford, a separatist religious leader as well as governor of Plymouth (131), and Thomas Morton, a lawyer and social reformer, were both very significant men within our history books. The story of Merry Mount/Ma-re Mount is shown from two different perspectives which offers the readers an awareness and understanding of the way religion and government influenced the lives of those who dwelled in Plymouth Massachusetts, and Ma-re Mount. Thomas Morton and William Bradford are somewhat like Tom and Jerry for the reason that they dislike one another and have different accounts of Ma-re Mount/Merry Mount and that they tend to dispute with one another often when it comes to religion. Bradford’s writing tells the story of Merry Mount in a narrative and formal way whereas Morton’s writing is unlike any writing during his time, it’s humorous and also told from a non-Puritans perspective. Although Bradford claims Morton to be an anarchic drunk there are many reasons to say that he was in fact a comedic hero.

Mary Rowlandson was a prime example of a colonial Puritan woman. She kept her focus on God, family, and the home. Her and her husband, Rev. Joseph Rowlandson, had three children in the town of Lancaster, Massachusetts. The Rowlandsons were living at a time where interactions between colonists and Indians were wrought with strife and this strife developed into King Philip’s War. Because of this war, a series of raids, or attacks, were conducted by Indians on many colonial towns. Thus, the life of this innocent colonial family was thoroughly changed on February 10, 1676. While her husband was away in Boston, a group of Indians attacked and destroyed the town of Lancaster. Rowlandson, along with her three children, were taken as captives. Rowlandson was held captive for eleven weeks and five days. She shared her experiences with the world and wrote a captivity narrative after she was returned to her husband. The subtle change that Rowlandson goes through in her description of the Indians cannot be attributed to her being in the moment because she was not in captivity while writing. Therefore, Rowlandson’s rhetorical change towards the Indians can be attributed to the fact that she knew her audience, the Puritan society, and set out to convince them that she was still the same innocent Puritan woman that she had always been before, during, and after her captivity.

Maisie Dobbs by Jacqueline Winspear centers on the title character Maisie Dobbs, a psychologist and private investigator. Maisie has a way of making people of all classes feel comfortable; she is extremely good at reading people and situations and has a keen eye for noticing the most miniscule of details. Maisie’s belief that truth will come if she allows it to speak to her leads to a lot of self-reflection and a personal connection to Maisie can be felt as her inner thoughts and feelings are revealed, presenting a more vulnerable depiction of a hardworking detective. Throughout the story, Maisie Dobbs uses her amiability, observance, and intuitiveness to better help people through her professional detective work.

The first quote I would like to share is, “The church was not only a social hub but also a constant reminder of that dangerous era when the U.S. government wanted Mohegans removed from the hill” (Fawcett, 12). I found this important to our readings because of the interconnection and symbol the church was to the Mohegans’ community. It represented their strength in standing their ground to their traditions and region in which they resided in with the hopes of the U.S. government to leave them alone. This type of establishment taught Gladys Tantaquidgeon to cherish the education she was being provided at home of learning the Mohegan traditions. Gladys showed a promising future to inherit the Mohegan traditions in which three nanus or otherwise

In this constantly evolving television landscape, HBO executive Kathleen McCaffrey admits that she is uncertain about what the future holds for her career and for the industry, in general. However, McCaffrey confidently states, “There will always be people who have to choose content and support a creative mind.”

In the trial of Anne Hutchinson, we meet a well intentioned yet lost people described and labelled as the Puritans of the Massachusetts Bay Company. These self governing Puritans, once a people who sought God to set them on their way, settled only to be found as a people who simply lost their way. This journey to lost began when first motivated by a desire for religious reform and separation from the liturgy, ceremonies and practices of the Church of England. Once they banned together, they set on their way and traveled in groups to the New World. With the Word of God as their ultimate authority and the desire for a personal relationship with God, these people landed in Boston in 1630 united to self govern the newly founded Massachussets Bay Colony. Unfortunatly, this self rule resulted in a government of intolerance, fear and a liturgy not much different from what was once found in the Church of England. A system designed to set apart outward morality, or sanctification, to strengthen the authority of the Church only worked to neglect the place of true piety purposed to strengthen the spiritual lives of the people it served.

NO the question you should be asking yourself is why the hell have you done nothing to fix this issue, the things that have been happening to others because of many people discriminating them for how they look, for how they talk, for who they choose to be in life. In the 1960s this woman called Katherine Johnson was one of the first African American woman to work for Nasa, she worked as a Mathematician calculating the trajectories for many NASA missions and working with many people in this project which in many cases was hard for her 1. Her being a woman and 2. Her being African American, now these shouldn't be any reasons for her to fail or not be able to do it (right), well in her case it wasn't, it was the fact that many people doubted her, made fun fun of her skin color, and most of all her being equal to a man really made her get laughed at because everyone thought that she can’t do it, how can a woman be with such a high authority and equal with a man working for NASA, although many people did not agree with what she did however, with her working there for 33 years taking all the discrimination words she heard, brought eather to her face or in secret she toughened up and realized no matter how many things they say about me I will keep on going, she later on started proving everyone that she can do it she started solving various complex equations and multiple plans on what types of angles the ships should be held from, what speed to blast

Chapter two continues the ideas of chapter one by exploring how Quaker belief and discipline; understanding of love, marriage, and family; and the organization of social life on Nantucket accommodated the rhythms and stresses of the fishery (14). The chapter begins by describing the simple Quaker life style and Society of Friends, founded in 1709, which was a group of Quakers in Nantucket. The Quakers developed “The Discipline”, a collection of rules to guide meetings and govern Quaker conduct, and held regular meetings, separated by gender, which raised funding, kept log of births and marriages, and administered passes to travel (60). “Rather than in the separate space of the women’s meeting, most Nantucket women found recognition of their importance within marriage, family, and community life” (65). “Seaman’s regular absences placed greater family responsibilities on wives’ and mothers’ shoulders” (71). Quaker women turned to family and the Quaker society for support in times of separation. “Little evidence has survived that illuminates how Nantucket sea-wives themselves felt about their conjugal roles, family responsibilities, and community relationships” (76). Whaling and Quakerism, although had conflict, caused a shift in the Nantucket atmosphere and women’s roles.

Several valid points were made, and she used textual evidence to back up her assertions. Pestana stays on topic and she does not digress, which makes it easy to follow and understand. This article is important because it raises questions about certain topics such as the, “suspicious similarities between Quakers and Catholics” (Pestana, 339). Because Pestana notes the Puritans believed that the Quakers were affiliated with other religious and social groups, the readers question the similarities and look for connections. In short, it is thought

     In Puritan led Massachusetts Bay Colony during the days of Anne Hutchinson was an intriguing place to have lived. It was designed ideally as a holy mission in the New World called the “city upon a hill,” a mission to provide a prime example of how protestant lives should have subsisted of. A key ingredient to the success of the Puritan community was the cohesion of the community as a whole, which was created by a high level of conformity in the colony. Puritan leaders provided leadership for all facets of life; socially, economically, religiously, and even politically. A certain hierarchy was very apparent in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, in which ministers always seemed to
