The European Background of American History is a historical book written by E. P. Cheyney. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the events and factors that shaped the history of America during the colonial period. It explores the political, social, and economic conditions of Europe that led to the colonization of America by European powers such as Spain, France, and England.The book covers the period from the early 16th century to the late 18th century, highlighting the major events and personalities that defined this era. It discusses the impact of the Renaissance, the Reformation, and the Enlightenment on the development of Europe and how these movements influenced the colonization of America.The author also examines the role of trade, religion, and politics in the colonization process and how these factors affected the relations between the colonizers and the indigenous peoples of America. He provides a detailed account of the conflicts and alliances that emerged between the European powers and the native tribes, as well as the impact of these interactions on the culture and society of both groups.Overall, The European Background of American History is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the roots of American history and the complex relationships between Europe and America during the colonial period. It is a well-researched and insightful book that sheds light on the historical forces that shaped the modern world.During Elizabeth’s reign three stages of the development of Puritanism gave occasion for corresponding conflicts with the crown and for making more clear the differences between Anglican and Puritan. During the first decade of the reign, Puritanism meant a protest against certain of the ceremonies and formulas and vestments required of clergymen by the law. The sign of the cross on the child’s forehead in baptism, the celebration of saints’ days, insistence on kneeling to receive the communion, the use of church organs, the changing of robes during the service, and even the wearing of a surplice or a square cap, were to many earnest souls survivals of ''popery'' and temptations to superstition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
