Charles Inglis: A Loyalist In Colonial North America
Charles Inglis I, Charles Inglis, have grown to be a loyalist in colonial North America. I was born 1734, in the Republic of Ireland. I was given a private education and due to my father’s death, I was never able to attend a University. During my twenties, I moved to America. After teaching nearby at a church in Lancaster, PA I earned my rights in England to work at higher levels in the church. By 1758 I was an ordained deacon, assisted the bishop and returned to America. I became very fond of the Trinity Church located in New York. I was very eager to promote my ideas although not all were accepted by the people. For example, “the creation of colonial bishoprics”. During the fall out between the Colonies and Britain I wrote about my views.

    After reading the section entitled 'Was Colonial Culture Uniquely American' in the book Taking Sides, I came to the conclusion that colonial culture was uniquely American. Professor Gary B. Nash states time and time again that the combination of the Europeans, Native Americans, and Africans created a unique triracial society. Although other reasons do comply with my choice, they all basically come back to this statement.…

    In the 1600s, Great Britain’s North American colonies were mostly white, English, and Protestant. However, in the 1700s this changed. Great Britain’s colonies had become remarkably more diverse. The New World was home to many people who sought religious freedom; therefore new forces of race, ethnicity, and religion affected that society.…

    This church was an example of a place where all citizens of Williamsburg could gather to worship and discuss important matters. It was one place where everyone, loyalist or patriot, would come together to pray. The future can certainly learn from this church, it was a role model for later churches, and was a gathering place for all the citizens of Williamsburg even if they had different opinions with…

    Many religious groups journeyed to America to form one of the original thirteen colonies on the basis of their religious beliefs. Although the plan was to escape persecution, there was some amount of persecution happening in the colonies as they brought the circle of hatred back round – one gets hurt so they hurt another. In this paper I will discuss the religions that came out of the three main sects: Judaism, Roman Catholic and Protestants; and how act as individual entities, how they influenced each other and how they influenced the creation of America as a whole.…

    A Purpose Driven John Foxe

    • 1269 Words
    • 6 Pages

    First published in 1563, John Foxe’s Acts and Monuments of these Latter and Perilous Days is also known as “Foxe’s Book of Martyrs” (Laughlin, Bell, and Brace 220). Once read, the latter title becomes seemingly more appropriate than the former due to the several accounts of horrific acts committed against Protestants that are described in grave detail. In his Acts and Monuments of these Latter and Perilous Days, Foxe recounts the graphic facts and particulars that many Protestants faced during the reign of the Catholic Queen Mary I. The accounts described are quite detailed and disturbing, seemingly so for the purpose of advancing a cause. In the book, Foxe informs his audience of the persecution faced by the Protestants and in doing so reveals the true essence and nature of the Protestants. Instead of the Protestants being depicted as radical heretics, Foxe’s Acts and Monuments of these Latter and Perilous Days presents them as sane human beings who stood fast to their beliefs and displayed exceptional courage, dedication, and faith while doings so. Foxe’s writing of Acts and Monuments of these Latter and Perilous Days spread the message of what he and so many other Protestants believed. It is my belief that John Foxe wrote Acts and Monuments of these Latter and Perilous Days in an effort to provide non-Protestants with a clear understanding of Protestants as human beings, to encourage Protestant believers to remain steadfast in their beliefs, and to encourage the development of new saints.…

    Puritans Vs. Quakers

    The Puritans and the Quakers did not have an easy life when the first came to the new world. They by no means handled the pressure well. At first they had no idea what things were going to end up like. As they arrived in the “New World”, they had optimistic plans for creating model societies that would fulfill God’s will on earth. Most groups trying to find their way almost immediately encountered social and political challenges that threatened those plans. In particular the Puritans struggled with this. The Puritans had the belief that their status on in the New World was as God’s “chosen people.” John Winthrop’s “Model of Christian Charity” describes exactly the nature of their “sacred errand” and outlines a blueprint for the model Puritan community.…

    The first settlers in this country were emigrants from England, of the English church, just at a point of time when it was flushed with complete victory over the religious of all other persuasions. Possessed, as they became, of the powers of making, administering, and executing the laws, they shewed equal intolerance in this country with their Presbyterian brethren, who had emigrated to the northern government. The poor Quakers were flying from persecution in England. They cast their eyes on these new countries as asylums of civil and religious freedom; but they found them free only for the reigning sect. Several acts of the Virginia assembly of 1659, 1662, and 1693, had made it penal in parents to refuse to have their children baptized; had prohibited the unlawful assembling of Quakers; had made it penal for any master of a vessel to bring a Quaker into the state; had ordered those already here, and such as should come thereafter, to be imprisoned till they should abjure the country; provided a milder punishment for their first and second return, but death for their third; had inhibited all persons from suffering their meetings in or near their houses, entertaining them individually, or disposing of books which supported their tenets. If no capital execution took place here, as did in New England, it was not owing to the moderation of the church, or spirit of the legislature, as may be inferred from the law itself; but to historical circumstances which have not been handed down to us. The Anglicans retained full possession of the country about a century. Other opinions began then to creep in, and the great care of the government to support their own church, having begotten an equal degree of indolence in its clergy, two-thirds of the people had become dissenters at the commencement of the present revolution. The laws indeed were still oppressive on them, but the spirit of the one party had subsided into moderation, and of the other had risen to a degree of…

    In “For the Children of the Infidels”?: American Indian Education in the Colonial Colleges, Bobby Wright argues against contemporary historian and literary glorification of colonial colleges’ attempt to educate Indians and convert them to the Christian faith. Instead, Wright claims that colonial colleges used the guile of educating and converting Indians to perpetrate their own success. In support of his claim, Wright referenced the Virginia Company, Harvard, William and Mary, and Dartmouth; all of which, he argued, used the contrived cause of Indian missions as a way to obtain funds from England.…

    For many Americans, William Penn is just known as the Quaker leader who founded Pennsylvania and for his ‘Holy Experiment’. Penn’s achievements were far greater than just the founding of a colony. He had devotion and spirit and love for the Quaker sect and in turn spent his whole life trying to get others to see the good in Quakerism and create toleration for the religion. In the biography of William Penn and the Quaker Legacy, John Moretta asserts that William Penn is one of the most significant figures of American History and many of America’s principles were created in his time.…

    Superficially the Revolution of 1688 can be seen as perhaps the most rapidly executed of all revolutions. The Restoration of the monarchy and the old order in 1660 had been hopefully intended to obliterate the divisions, enmities, and aberrations such as a corruption in the church caused by the Civil War.…
