Thomas Morton

Thomas Morton (born in 1590 - dead in Maine State 1647) was one of the earliest early British settlers of the American colonial era, abandoning the strict religious beliefs of pilgrims and Puritans.

He arrived in Massachusetts as one of the owners of Wollaston in 1624. In 1626, when Wollaston and most of the settlers moved to Virginia, Morton was responsible for the colony and named it Merry Mount as it is. Inevitably, this free life, prosperity, sharp British church clashed with his devout neighbor. He built Maypour, encouraged joy and joy, wrote poetry, raped his neighbor, used a book of general prayer for religious ceremonies, monopolized Beaver transactions and sold guns to Indians. Pilgrims trimmed the May line in 1627, arrested Morton and fled him to the UK where he exiled to Shoal Island. He returned home within two years and was immediately detained again (1630) and his property was confiscated. During exile in England he attempted to cancel the Puritan charter in cooperation with Massachusetts' enemies and wrote a new English Canaan in colonial times (1637). After returning to Massachusetts in 1643, he was imprisoned again, fined and exiled to Maine.
