We are making our way across the Atlantic this week to discuss one of the shortest lived, but undeniably most fun settlements on the New England Coast.
When Lawyer, Thomas Morton, was left in temporary charge of a small group of indentured servants, he decided to try setting up his own communal utopia. Offering to free his charges (which he had no authority to do) he suggested they live as equals, engage on friendly terms with the locals and try to have as good a time as possible.
But while the members of this newly-named colony of Merrymount were having a good time, their puritan neighbours to the south did not approve...
...and they just so happened to have access to an armed militia.
