Publisher's Synopsis
The book ""The Colonizing Activities of the English Puritans: The Last Phase of the Elizabethan Struggle with Spain"" by Arthur Percival Newton, published in 1914, is a historical account of the English Puritan movement and their role in the colonization of America during the late Elizabethan era. The book explores how the Puritans, who were a religious group seeking to purify the Church of England, played a significant role in the English colonization of America, particularly in the establishment of the Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay colonies. The book also examines the political and economic factors that led to the colonization of America by the English, including the ongoing conflict with Spain and the desire for new trade routes and markets. The author provides a detailed analysis of the Puritan movement and their motivations for colonizing America, as well as their relationships with other groups, such as the Separatists and Anglicans. Throughout the book, the author draws on a range of primary sources, including letters, diaries, and official documents, to provide a comprehensive and detailed account of the colonization of America by the English Puritans.
