that we see in the massachusetts bay colony. it is a place where roger rowlands goes when he needs to have a place to get away from the massachusetts bay colony. we know that there are efforts to share the gospel with the american indians there, but they are non-coerced. so this really does set the groundwork for a model that is cooperative among citizens but not coercive. dr. morrison: i think that is very well said. i will only add very briefly we once again have to keep in mind the plymouth colony is different from the massachusetts bay colony. different leadership. they have a slightly different ethos. they have different ends, goals, and it is boston, what becomes the city of boston, and the massachusetts bay colony that is the sort of powerhouse, and what becomes the colony of massachusetts and later the state of massachusetts. that is led by john winthrop, a different sort of man than elder brewster, a different sort of man than william bradford. he is a lawyer for one thing. he has a rather checkered career and massachus

this was the first of a number of trips taken by fuller over the next few years to the bay colony. fuller's ability to impact the disease was likely minimal. but, he spent many hours in consultation with the puritan leaders of salem, who had no -- at the time. and then later visits, he engaged in similar discussions with john winthrop and other lay leaders of the 1630 migration. the question before all who immigrated in the early years of massachusetts, help to form churches and undertake worship. the answer was to be found in the practices of those who had formed congregations themselves, such as that -- forming it through lay initiative. in letters to governor bradford, inserted into bradford's letter book and then copied into a -- endicott praised fuller, for his knowledge of mr. robinson's church, expressed his view that he, john endicott, believed the plymouth's face full were servants of one master and of the same household. and god's people were all marked with one and the same mark. a seal with one and the same seal. and have for the main, one and the same -- guided by one

four quakers die in new england, all of them die at the hands of mass bay colony. but what will happen within the year 1661 to 1662, hundreds and hundreds of them will die in english prisons, because they would not do what i asked you to do at the start of the morning. they would not take an oath, because quakers believed that every word that came out of your mouth should be a word of truth, and therefore an oath was not required to prove that your speech was extra truthful or extra binding. so he could not suppress the faith, because one of the ways he got the crown back was a guarantee of religious diversity in england. but he could destroy them by creating a law that said you must take an oath of loyalty. and then refusing to do it, off they go to the prisons. so when we look back at the past, there is diversity of faith, there are those that are living openly like the quakers. there are those like thomas macy that may be living a closeted life and practicing their faith out of the eyes of their neighbors and longing for a day of religious freedom and toll lance

boston, what becomes the city of boston and the massachusetts bay colony that is sort of the powerhouse and what becomes the state, the colony of massachusetts and later the state of massachusetts. so, that is led by john winthrop. a different sort of man than elder brewster. a different sort of man than william bradford. he is a lawyer, for one thing. he has a rather checkered career there in massachusetts bay. being elected governor and then being deposed and elected again. as his literal fortunes go up and down in england. so, massachusetts bay is, and the city of boston, they are the kind of powerhouse and literally tens of thousands of people come in waves from old england to new england. but they tend to settle there. the plymouth colony is a smaller enterprise. it's first, and i think that document, the compact, is very dispositive for things that come later. but, we should remember that. and when we think the pequot war, we speak of things like that. there are different communities engaging with native americans and engaging themselves and the strangers among them in slightly di

early 17thin the century, the massachusetts bay colony and a predominantly puritan population who governedrom the basis of their beliefs. richard pickering of plymouth plantation gives the history of this new england settlement and the tomatoes period when quaker missionaries arrived. the nantucket historical association hosted this talk and provided the video. >> what we wanted to do today, there will be a kind of style going on here, because i need to turn you into puritans if you are to understand where we are going to go with the quakers. i taught freshman english at the university of connecticut for six years. one of my courses was on censored books in the 1950's. what i realized was my students were so very young and came from a different moral climate that peyton place was not shocking to them at all. i needed to give them the moment to understand just how radical the novel was. so we will take a little time to give you the puritan mentality, so when the quakers enter your world, you can understand just how frightening it is. we are going to be looking at a time when the world was t

bay. well north of the boundary of the northern virginia company. the plan became to set up a colony right there. but, immediately, there were difficulties. they were not where they were supposed to be. and friction grew up on the ship between some of the non- pilgrims, who were reluctant to settle in the settlers area together with the pilgrims. this fact necessitated a group to draw up a pact or covenant, which set up an arrangement for what the purpose of the colony would be. except for this accidental event, then, the mayflower compact would never have been written. it is a very brief document, which on the most practical level, sets out the status of all of the persons who would agree to settle in this colony. looking back, many have seen in this document, elements that would foretell how people, not just in this little community in plymouth, but throughout america would eventually discover. to be sure, there are some things in the mayflower compact that remind us of the declaration of independence. in particular, the idea of a people setting out in advance, how they would plan

continued until landing of the subsequent development of the plymouth colony, the massachusetts bay colony, and all that surrounded these events. scarcely a quarter century after they landed,-developing massachusetts. the bodies of laws and liberties. and with their need of further context of the much growing community, civil and constitutional order. moreover, they committed themselves to expressing a desire. and we see from the numerous developments taking place, that they continually emphasized community. to be short. when they landed, they had the model of the early church in mind. and therefore, adopted communal practices on the assumption that all were in this together. and all should share alike. they quickly discovered that unless there were expensive individual responsibility and productivity, there would not be prosperity sufficient to support the community. they quickly abandoned the communism. but--in the name of a prosperous community. not long thereafter, in 1641, the body of laws and liberties included a description of the order of the constitution, in the greater massachuse

.: in december, 1636, the first regiments in america was ecognized by massachusetts bay colonies general court. this time marks the founding of state militias that collectively the national guard. the men and women of the national guard make great our fices to protect homeland and citizens from harm. their duties encompass more than mitigating violence and civil unrest or being mobilized overseas. for example, just this year in state of california, two national guard aircrews flew raging what's he known as the creek fire in southern california to rescue trapped campers, hikers and residents. saved eroic efforts nearly 400 lives. this bravery is not uncommon for men.nal guards they always have been and always will be there for us. thank you. back.d the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlewoman from nevada seek recognition? > i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentlewoman is recognized for one minute. ms. lee: we are -- mrs. lee: americans are scared, blame them. americans are also angry and they sho

and it really goes back to our first formation with the massachusetts bay colony in 1636.oldiers and airmen have done really since march, we have got even today 20,000 guard men helping out with will covid-19 across the country. reached a peak of about 47,000 june of this year. as we look forward we are continuing to do those missions that the governors have asked us to do up to this point. we are in close concert with operation warp speed and moving forward we will be helping right now in 26 states and territories with the distribution warehousing and in some cases the administering of the vaccine. pete: you will be involved in the actual administration. warp speed getting it out to the states as they need it. >> yes, sir, absolutely. will. pete: i'm the one that said sir, you major. i didn't realize it went back that far. we do have that cake on set, general. it is not befitting 384 years but it's a cake so it will due. how does the guard plan to celebrate today? >> well, there will be celebrations really across each of our units as we have, you know, drill normally on t

bay. you know, there's never quite as successful of a church establishment in plymouth colony. i think for the most part there is a little bit more room for dissent or just remaining aloof from churches. and, you know, i started with the story about quakers in plymouth colony getting persecuted, but one reason that plymouth cracked down on the quakers was because the folks up in boston kept giving them a hard time for, you know, not being vigorous enough against dissenters. so i took your question as an opportunity to go on for a bit there. but, you know, basically i understand pilgrims as a more radical subgroup of puritans. so, next question, thanks, timothy, is if i have any comments on the history of our understanding of the prevalence of slavery in new england. i don't know if by that you mean what other historians have said about it. certainly, you know, it's been well known that there was slavery in new england of both native and african kinds. i would say that more recently historians have really taken this subject more seriously, and there are a couple great books abou

. >>> east bay regional park district said employees shot and killed 10 cats the district said were part of an out-of- control colonye. according to the news group in the bay area, about -- [ inaudible ] an area with hundreds of bird species and a woman who was speeding the cats said if she knew they were going to be killed, she would have trapped and removed them. the city said it will try to coordinate bitter with rescue groups in the future. >>> a family in the north bay is trying to regain the holiday spirit after vandals targeted christmas display in the front yard. it happened after and recognized by a newspaper as a spot for people to see and take it in. he's more on the story. >> reporter: it was devastating. i spent hours working on this with my family. >> reporter: he, his wife and two kids were thrilled when they made the local paper's holiday home tour. >> yeah! >> reporter: their santa rosa yard doesn't glow as bright now. >> sunday night, i went to bed. everything was fine. i just put finishing touches on decorations. >> reporter: in the middle of the night, someone stole hundreds of ground zero lights

and worst of all, from the standpoint of plymouth colony, it would be absorbed by massachusetts bay and in the years after the war, new england, which had been remarkably independent throughout the first half century of the 17th century, there would be a royal governor. and that would really end an era in new england, because by fighting this war of annihilation with the native people that had been stood by their side for so long, the children and grandchildren of the pilgrims had really destroyed their forefathers' way of life. and when you take the arc of the story from the mayflower to king phillip's war, you begin to see that -- you know, when i was a teenager in my cynical teenage years in the '60s and '70s, i began to look at the pilgrims as irrelevant to america, stereo types with buckles on their shoes that were trotted out for thanksgiving. this is not the case. when you put it in the context of what happened during those first 56 years, the story of the pilgrims is vital to showing us what america would become. american history begins -- in the popular view, begins with the vo
