Essay / Research Paper Abstract
5 pages in length. William Cronon’s “Changes in the Land: Indians, Colonists, and the Ecology of New England” and Carolyn Merchant’s “Ecological Revolutions: Nature, Gender, and Science in New England” strive to address similar issues in mostly similar manners; however, one might readily argue
that their individual styles of approach are based in part upon significantly different gender perspectives. Like Merchant, Cronon is careful to extend the same respect to both sides: Native Americans and European colonists. It is both authors’ intentions to portray this trying historical period in as neutral a light as possible as a means by which to allow the reader a truly spontaneous experience. In each book, the environment’s changing landscape is of utmost
importance, inasmuch as the land’s use and abuse became a focal point during this hostile period. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

involved; rather, their additional points include the scarred impression that such conflict left upon the landscape, as well. Like so many other groups who sought a better life, the
Puritans created a new existence in America different from what they had known in England. The year was 1620 when the Puritans, an assembly of religious Pilgrims who "were
persecuted for their beliefs" (Anonymous, 1996, PG), made their way to the United States in an effort to separate themselves from religious oppression. Their goal was to find a
land where they were free to practice their beliefs without the constant torment, and America was just the place for which they were searching. However, when they arrived, they
turned into the very element of persecution from which they escaped; not only did they segregate their religion, but they also refused to allow other groups attain the same religious
