    Unlike many other books about early American history, The Minutemen and Their World, by Robert A. Gross, does not focus on the founding fathers or “textbook-quality” events that are known today to have paved the way to the American Revolution. Instead, the theme is focused on the everyday life of the people living in and around Concord, Massachusetts; a colonial city outside of Boston with a vast amount of problems and troubles. The Minutemen and Their World provides a social history, which is key to understanding the views of the common people. There are three major topics that can be pulled from the main theme of analyzing the lives of the townspeople: Farming, Family, and Politics. The book uses a “bottom-up” approach of writing by first…

    John Winthrop and Jonathan Edward’s sermons both relate to the puritan ideas; both create a call to action telling the people exactly what they should do in order to be considered faithful puritans. They are trying to influence people to view their ideas and believe in them. Although there are major significant similarities there are also extreme differences in the sermons due to the huge time gap between when these sermons were expressed to the people.
