Description

The years 1690–1765 in America have usually been considered a waiting period prior to the Revolution. Bushman, in his study of colonial Connecticut, shows how, during these years, economic ambition and religious ferment profoundly altered Puritan society, enlarging the bounds of liberty and inspiring resistance to established authority.
