The Emancipation of Massachusetts Summary
| And so it was with the Puritans, who were themselves the children of the revolt against social corruption. They fondly believed that a new era was to be ushered in by the rule of the Cromwellian saints. What the Cromwellian saints did in truth usher in, was the carnival of debauchery of Charles II, in its turn to be succeeded by the capitalistic competitive age which we have known, and which has abutted in the recent war. |

| Henry Adams's first work, The Emancipation of Massachusetts, by its vigorous assault upon the accepted manner of dealing with early New England history, attracted attention, caused retort, and served as a wholesome protest against a somewhat blind acceptance of ancestor-worship. |
