2. 1.11: English History Essentials
Unit 1: Three Worlds Collide (c )

3. I. Introduction
In previous classes you learned about the various European cultures, other than England, that explored and colonized the New World. Before turning our attention to the arrival of the English, it is important to learn some background information about England’s monarchs and how the Protestant and English Reformations created religious conflict that would affect the history of the American colonies.

7. IV. Religious Conflict in England
A. The People: 1. Many people in England were Protestant. a) Martin Luther broke from the Roman Catholic Church in 1517 and began the Protestant Reformation for theological reasons. 2. Some people in England remained Roman Catholic. B. The Monarchy: 1. The monarchs of England were officially Anglican and were the heads of the Church of England. a) Henry VIII broke from the Roman Catholic Church in 1534 and began the English Reformation for political reasons. b) Elizabeth I established an Anglican Church that was a middle way between Catholicism and Protestantism.

8. C. Religious Conflict: 1. Protestants broke from the Roman Catholic Church because they did not like all of its beliefs and traditions. 2. The new Anglican Church kept many Catholic beliefs and traditions. 3. Therefore, Protestants in England did not like the Anglican Church because they thought it was too Catholic. 4. At the same time, Catholics in England did not like the Anglican Church because they thought it was too Protestant. 5. Anglicanism was the official religion of England and the king or queen was the head of the church. 6. No separation of church and state meant religious persecution for Protestants and Roman Catholics, depending on whether the particular king or queen leaned Protestant or Catholic.

9. V. Conclusion
During the time period of this course, the British Isles evolved from separate kingdoms (the most dominant of which was England) into one United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (typically just called Britain). There were ten different monarchs that ruled Britain from the founding of the first American colony to the American Revolution, when these colonies rebelled against Britain. These monarchs adopted a compromise religion, known as Anglicanism, which was too Catholic for English Protestants, and too Protestant for English Catholics. Depending on the particular king or queen, Catholics and certain Protestants would at times face religious persecution and be pushed to the American colonies. This religious conflict between Catholics, Anglicans, and Protestants would also carry over to the New World and will impact the rest of this course.
