Law – charters, statutes, judicial decisions, and traditions –
mattered in colonial America, and laws about religion mattered a
lot. The legal history of colonial America reveals that America has
been devoted to the free exercise of religion since well before the
First Amendment was ratified. Indeed, the two colonies originally
most opposed to religious liberty for anyone who did not share
their views, Connecticut and Massachusetts, eventually became
bastions of it. By focusing on law, Scott Douglas Gerber offers new
insights about each of the five English American colonies founded
for religious reasons – Maryland, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania,
Connecticut, and Massachusetts – and challenges the conventional
view that colonial America had a unified religious history.
