Resisting Tyranny, Defining Liberty

While England plunged into civil war, New England faced dissidents and political questions. But instead of taking up arms (and although they sent men to fight in the English civil wars), Puritan leaders took pen to paper, drafting statements on the nature and limits of liberty, the threat of tyranny, and the proper relationship between church and state. This final lecture in our series Revolutions before the Revolution, by award-winning historian Francis J. Bremer, explores how 17th century Puritans created a new understanding of citizen rights that would inspire colonial rebels a century later - and should inspire us today.
