Bicentenary Of The Burning Of Providence In 1676: Defense Of The Rhode Island System Of Treatment Of The Indians, And Of Civil And Religious Liberty is a historical book written by Zachariah Allen in 1876. The book commemorates the 200th anniversary of the burning of Providence during King Philip's War in 1676. The author defends the Rhode Island system of treatment of the Native American Indians, which was based on peaceful coexistence, mutual respect, and fair trade. Allen argues that this system was superior to the violent and exploitative approach adopted by the other colonies, which led to the outbreak of the war. The book also advocates for civil and religious liberty, which were the core values of the Rhode Island colony. Allen highlights the role of Roger Williams, the founder of Rhode Island, in promoting these values and establishing a society that respected individual rights and freedoms. Overall, Bicentenary Of The Burning Of Providence In 1676 is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the early history of Rhode Island and the treatment of Native American Indians during colonial times. It is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, Native American studies, or civil and religious liberties.An Address Delivered Before The Rhode Island Historical Society, April 10, 1876.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
