Summary: "Oaths of Allegiance in Colonial New England" by Charles Evans is a historical account published in the early 20th century. The work delves into the various oaths of allegiance and fidelity that formed an integral part of the governance and societal structure in colonial New England, focusing particularly on their origins and significance during the period of settlement and development. The opening of the book outlines the historical context of oaths in England, particularly noting their evolution from the Oath of Supremacy under Henry VIII to the Oath of Allegiance established by James I. It establishes how these oaths impacted the Pilgrims who settled in New Plymouth and later influenced the governance structures of other New England colonies, such as Massachusetts and Connecticut. Evans emphasizes the complexities of these oaths, including their religious implications and good faith among settlers, setting the groundwork for a detailed examination of legal and civic obligations within these burgeoning communities.
