• "Religion" - Query XVII, Jefferson
•  "What is an American" (III) - Crevecoeur
•  " Model of Christian Charity" - Winthrop
•  " Exclusion of Heretics" - Winthrop
•  " Of Plymouth Plantation" - Bradford

** Also take into consideration the time frame and the American landscape

Puritan (Winthrop and Bradford)

• Direct relationship between the three
