  • Puritans Selfless Or Selfish

    278 Words  | 2 Pages

    I agree with the people who said the Puritans were both selfless and selfish. According to Document A: 'City upon a Hill, ' the leader of the 1630 migration, John Winthrop suggested that everyone work together to achieve prosperity. He specifically says, "We must be knit together in this work as one man; we must take care of each other with bortherly affection." He seemed to be driving people into working for one another rather than for oneself. Unlike the failed attempt at settling in Jamestown, the Puritans seemed to be on the right path to success (by working selflessly and helping one another).

  • Model Of Christian Charity

    734 Words  | 3 Pages

    For the early Americans, Christianity was a major influence on their everyday lifestyle. They used the Bible as their guide for living, worshiping and working. They believed that their deep devotion to God and acts of faith would keep them on good terms with God. In A Model of Christian Charity we see some of the ways to stay on good terms; Winthrop states, “to provide for our posterity, is to follow the counsel of Micah: to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with our God.” In contrast when looking at Of Plymouth Plantation we see that there “was a proud and very profane young man” on board the Mayflower who “would always be contemning the poor people in their sickness and cursing them daily with grievous execrations.”

The television and media have a large part to do with this, romanticizing the idea and spreading it under a false context.
