| Summary: | Laura M. Chmielewski's The Spice of Popery: Converging Christianities on an Early American Frontier offers a detailed look at religious and political complexities in Maine at the turn of the eighteenth century. Although colonial Maine and Massachusetts are often assumed to have been “indistinguishable in their social arrangements, religion, and culture” (p. 4), Chmielewski makes clear that long-standing trade contacts with Canada made Maine's colonists far more comfortable shifting between Protestant and Catholic cultures than their counterparts in the Puritan strongholds of Massachusetts and Connecticut. Maine was also a more religiously diverse colony than either Massachusetts or Connecticut, with Anglicans, Quakers, Baptists, and Puritans among its residents. |
