| Summary | "The Rogerenes: Some Hitherto Unpublished Annals Belonging to the Colonial History of Connecticut" is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the little-known history of the Rogerenes, a sect that arose in colonial Connecticut, focusing especially on their struggles against religious persecution and their advocacy for freedom of conscience. The narrative highlights key figures like John Rogers and the challenges faced by his followers as they navigated the oppressive environment of their time. The opening of the work introduces the background and objectives of the authors involved in documenting the history of the Rogerenes, particularly John R. Bolles, who aimed to correct misconceptions about this religious group. It addresses the erroneous portrayals they faced in historical narratives and begins to outline the injustices inflicted upon them, including legal actions against John Rogers for blasphemy and the severe punishments he endured. This initial portion sets the stage for a detailed examination of the Rogerenes' beliefs and the socio-political context that led to their persecution, suggesting a compelling exploration of religious liberty and resilience.
