Loyal Protestants and Dangerous Papists analyzes the vibrant and
often violent political culture of seventeenth-century America,
exploring the relationship between early American and early modern
British politics through a detailed study of colonial Maryland.
Seventeenth-century Maryland was repeatedly wracked by disputes
over the legitimacy of the colony’s Catholic proprietorship. The
proprietors’ strange policy of religious liberty was part of the
controversy, but colonists also voiced fears of proprietary
conspiracies with Native Americans and claimed the colony’s
ruling circle aimed to crush their liberties as English subjects.
Conflicts like these became wrapped up in disputes less obviously
political, such as disagreements over how to manage the tobacco
trade, without which Maryland’s economy would falter. Antoinette
Sutto contends that the turbulent political history of early
Maryland makes most sense when seen in an imperial as well as an
American context. Such an understanding of political culture and
conflict in this colony offers a window not only into the processes
of seventeenth-century American politics but also into the
construction of the early modern state. Examining the dramatic rise
and fall of Maryland’s Catholic proprietorship through this lens,
Loyal Protestants and Dangerous Papists offers a unique glimpse
into the ambiguities and possibilities of the early English
colonial world.
