| Summary: | The dream of a refuge in America became a reality for the brief decade of 1555 to 1565, one which encompassed the creation of an "Antarctic France" in the bay of Rio de Janeiro, and the destruction of Huguenot Florida by the Spanish. Nonetheless, this dream continued to haunt the Protestant party, whose attitude during the Wars of Religion evolved from a doctrinal anticolonialism to a sort of geopolitical realism. Under Coligny and Elizabeth the arena of religious struggle spread to the New World, while political initiative was transferred from France to England. Geneva, however, opened up to the American dream to enlist the Noble Savage in the combat against Catholic Spain. |
