Some Colonial Mansions And Those Who Lived In Them Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Some Colonial Mansions and Those Who Lived in Them: With Genealogies of the Various Families Mentioned Out of all this confusion there arose a host of religious doctrines, each one clamoring for its rival's life. The con verts to these peculiar views were singularly tenacious of their several beliefs, and quite ready to suffer the ultimate of martyrdom rather than yield a single inch to the existing laws or to their opponent's arguments and persecutions. These followers of the Truth, indeed, appear to have taken the same savage delight in suffering, Often without reason or purpose, as they did in tormenting those who differed with them as to the straightest path to heaven. To this social upheaval and chaos of beliefs we owe, in great measure, the first substantial settlement of the American Plantations.
