Tocqueville describes the story of the Anglo-American settlers who were all from England where they dealt with different factions for a long period of time. During the European religious conflicts, the English were looking for a new life in America. They brought with them the idea of freedom and the idea of sovereignty. He differentiates the settlers in the north from the south, saying that the southern was settling for wealth and slavery. The northern settlers just wanted to worship God freely. The new English colonies were driven by by notes from the Bible like “orderly conduct and good morals”. The Anglo-Americans had birthed civil freedom and started the beauty of the present American Government.
