Old Times in the Colonies

Gelesen von Keith Salis

The discovery and establishment of a new continent! Who owns it? What will you do with it? How shall it be ruled? How shall a sovereign gain a benefit from it?

These questions and more are detailed in an engaging, often witty, and bluntly direct way by Mr. Coffin in, "Old Times in the Colonies." He looks back-and-forth at the many aspects of European life that led many to risk everything to try for better across the ocean. In the process, the reader will get a better understanding of what is meant by, "Separation of Church and State," and get a feel for how religion - free and authoritarian - played its part in shaping the lives of those who came. - Summary by Keith Salis (11 hr 58 min)
