Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Benjamin Franklin was one of the most influential Founders, and he was horrified by the power that the Puritans had seized in Massachusetts and nearby New Hampshire. He campaigned against organized religion his entire life.

#2 In 1658, the Massachusetts Puritans chopped off the ears of two Quakers, Christopher Holder and John Copeland. In 1850, Nathaniel Hawthorne published The Scarlet Letter, set in Puritan Boston, which dramatized how rulebreakers were stigmatized in Massachusetts.

#3 The history of slavery in the United States is the result of the economic and social control of food. With harvest-season food surpluses and winter and spring food shortages, small groups of people could seize control of the harvest and lock up the food.

#4 The American colonies were primarily built by the East India Company and the British government in 1607, which established the colony of Jamestown. The colonists began to import bonded Europeans and Africans around 1620.
