Excerpt from Woodstock: An Historical SketchThe history of the town of Woodstock is associated with the beginnings of history in New England. The ideas of the first settlers of Woodstock were the ideas of the first settlers of the Colony of Plymouth and the Province of Massachusetts Bay. The planting of these colonies was one of the fruits of the Reformation. The antagonism between the Established Church of England and the'non-conformists led to the settlement of New England. The Puritans of Massachusetts, at first Non Conformists, became Separatists like the Pilgrims of Plymouth. Pilgrims and Puritans alike accepted per secution and surrendered the comforts of home to oh tain religious liberty. They found it in New England and here, more quickly than in the mother country, they developed also that civil liberty which is now the birthright of every anglo-saxon.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
