Excerpt from The Celtic Review, Vol. 7: February, 1911 to January, 1912He only sought a world where he could impose his own conscience on everybody else. The Cavalier did not seek a new world where he could establish universal freedom. He only sought freedom to have his own way. Even for the early Scottish emigrants sent out to him he had no use save as bond-servants. Later on he found them also useful as Presidents.Neither the Puritan nor the Cavalier went to America in resistance to tyranny. The Puritans who sought to resist tyranny stayed in England, in the Army with Fairfax, while those who felt otherwise escaped to the Colonies. The Cavaliers in the main left England for America when the Commonwealth Army had defeated them.' Neither the Puritan nor the Cavalier, when at liberty to work out their own ideals, established popular govern ment in the new world, though the Puritans were much farther from it than the Cavaliers. Under the Puritans no man could vote unless he were a church member, and in good standing with the church authorities. Under the Cavaliers piety may not have been so essential, but freedom from any debt for service was, and no man, even no white man, could vote without it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
