Description

An American Journey of Hope is a rousing and vivid chronicle of how the colonial society of Perth Amboy, New Jersey, unique because of its Old World connections with heredity, aristocracy, feudal land systems, an established church, omnipotent governments and slavery, redefined itself as a center of political and religious forces that held forth the promise of plenty and a way of life that emphasized freedom and opportunity for all.The original vision of the twenty-four Proprietors of East Jersey in the seventeenth century was to establish a colony for persecuted Scottish Quakers. Their plan was to help those who were oppressed and suffering, and to rescue prisoners and exiles by offering them a place to live that embraced religious toleration. In this way Perth Amboy became the port of entry for both the Quaker and Calvinist Non-conformist Presbyterian Covenanters who would subsequently establish the Presbyterian Church in America. The author details the events that accompanied these changes, and continues with a precise chronology of the incidents in the city that led up to the American Revolution.As the narrative continues to unfold, An American Journey of Hope becomes the story of the conflict between a stronghold of prominent Loyalists and their engagement with many of America's leading patriots in the struggle for American religious and political independence. The story of Perth Amboy provides a unique lens through which to observe the upheaval that overturned the old order.
