Questions for Jeff Pasley's section, Sept. 21
We will spend some time going over the test terms, but here are a couple of questions on the Puritans for the second half of the alphabet to wrote and all to consider:
- Did the Puritans come to America in pursuit of religious freedom? What evidence would you give to support your answer? You will need to have read the textbook on the Puritans in order to answer this question. Looking up the names Anne Hutchinson and Roger Williams would help also.
- Former president Ronald Reagan was in the habit of quoting Massachusetts Bay leader John Winthrop's line from your online reading about America as a "city on a hill." What did Winthrop mean by that phrase? BONUS: Was Reagan using it correctly? Here are speeches in which Reagan used it in 1974 and 1989.

How Williams and Hutchinson get along in the primary American Puritan settlement of Massachusetts Bay?
I do believe that the Puritans came to America in pursuit of religious feedom. They were in pursuit of a new way of life and they were in desprite desire to practice in what they wanted and truely believed in. They came inorder to purify the angelic church.
