The Development of Religious Liberty in Connecticut is a historical book written by M. Louise Greene. The book provides a detailed account of the development of religious liberty in Connecticut, one of the thirteen original colonies of the United States. The author explores the history of religious freedom in Connecticut from the colonial period to the early 19th century, highlighting the key events, individuals, and movements that shaped the state's religious landscape. The book examines how religious liberty evolved in Connecticut, from the early Puritan theocracy to the establishment of the Congregational Church and the eventual separation of church and state. The author also explores the role of dissenting and minority religious groups in the state, such as Baptists, Quakers, and Catholics, and how they fought for their right to worship freely. Through extensive research and analysis of primary sources, Greene offers a comprehensive and engaging account of the complex and often contentious history of religious freedom in Connecticut. The book will appeal to scholars and students of American history, particularly those interested in the history of religion and religious freedom in the United States.Toleration Act and proviso notwithstanding, no rival church was desired at this time in Connecticut. No rival creed was recognized. True, there were a few handfuls of dissenters scattered through the colony, but Congregationalism, with a strong tincture of Presbyterianism, was almost the unanimous choice of the people. It was largely outside pressure that had forced the passage of the Toleration Act, even if it accounts for itself as a loyal following of the English precedent of 1689.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
