Dissenters & Dominion: Puritans, Quakers, and Empire
Update: 2025-09-07
Description
In Episode 2 of APUSH for ALL, we trace the uneasy path of faith, dissent, and empire in 17th-century America. From the Pilgrims’ fragile alliance with the Wampanoag to John Winthrop’s “city upon a hill,” we see how ideals collided with survival and authority. Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson challenged Puritan orthodoxy; Metacom’s war scorched New England’s frontier. Meanwhile, the Restoration colonies—Carolinas, New York, Pennsylvania, Georgia—took shape under shifting imperial ambitions. Navigation Acts tightened Britain’s grip, planting seeds of resistance. It’s a story of covenant and conscience, of dissenters, dominion, and the habits of self-rule that endure.
