The Colonial Cavalier; or, Southern Life before the Revolution

"The Colonial Cavalier; or, Southern Life before the Revolution" by Maud Wilder Goodwin states that two types of men are responsible for the colonization of America. In England, these two groups were divided between the Puritan group and the the Cavalier group. The Puritans left their home in search of religious freedom. the cavaliers, instead, were gentlemen with traditional sympathies and views, with grand ideas and a sense of adventure.
