Continuing on with Ideological Origins Of The American Revolution.....
Of course these problems were transformed, over time, but many issues have a certain continuity, from the 17th Century to today.
In important ways, structural problems worsened, over time, while good fortune geopolitically has almost always prevented this from being seen.
One of the striking things to see is how radical religious Whig libertarianism,
beginning in the early 17th Century re The English Civil War, the anti popish anti Stuart ness of it, and then anti Church of England, anti Lutheran, anti Episcopalian, etc.,
that most animated the rebellious colonists,
has morphed over time, ideologically, into the anarchic civil libertarian conservatism of today.
