Description
The third volume in the 13-part series, "Adventures in Colonial America" focuses on the Maryland colony, its unique founding as a haven for English Catholics and its control by the Calvert family - the Lords Proprietor that ruled the colony only to be taken over by the British Crown. This installment also focuses on Maryland's role as the colonies were advancing toward independence and the important contributions made by colonists during the debates that took place prior to the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the only Roman Catholic to sign the Declaration of Independence, is the featured patriot. Volume III also focuses on religious persecution in England - Christian against Jew and Christian against other Christians - and the important role that persecution played in the founding of the Maryland colony. The next installment in the six-part series on the French and Indian Wars - Father Rale's War - is also discussed. The war ended with a treaty that was so poorly written that it set the stage for another war.
