Jonathan Edwards shows how an early American society you had to believe that the Protestants believed that there is no flexibility. The reason that the Puritans came to America was to escape religious persecution and England but yet in America they were doing the same thing that England was doing because they wouldn't allow others to believe differently than they did. This relates to our discussion in class because we talked about how the people that were kicked out of Massachusetts went to form Rhode Island but yet in Rhode Island they still wouldn't allow others to believe differently than they did but that it was really Pennsylvania that was the first tolerate settlement to tolerate all religions.
