""The Emancipation of Massachusetts"" is a historical book written by Brooks Adams, which explores the political and social transformation of Massachusetts in the mid-19th century. The book examines the impact of the American Civil War on the state and how it led to the abolition of slavery, the expansion of suffrage, and the rise of progressive politics.

The book provides a detailed analysis of the political and social forces that shaped Massachusetts during this time and highlights the key figures who played a role in the state's emancipation. Overall, ""The Emancipation of Massachusetts"" is a compelling account of a pivotal moment in American history and the role that Massachusetts played in shaping the nation.And so it was with the Puritans, who were themselves the children of the revolt against social corruption.

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.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
