| Summary | "The Beginnings of New England" by John Fiske is a historical account written during the late 19th century. The book explores the early settlement of New England, focusing on the Puritan theocracy and its implications for civil and religious liberties. The beginning of this text introduces the perspectives and motivations that shaped the history of New England, particularly during the time of the Puritan Exodus. Fiske describes the context of religious and political struggles that led to the migration of Puritan settlers seeking to establish a new society based on their beliefs. He emphasizes the significance of their quest for self-governance and religious freedom, setting the stage for the ensuing chapters that will delve deeper into the settlements formed and the challenges faced by these early communities.
