USA - New Englanders (Yankees) | Ethnic American Flag Interactive Sweatshirt

The Puritan dissenters and town meeting democrats whose stubborn independence, abolitionist conscience, and industrial ingenuity built the moral and economic foundation of the American republic.

New Englanders — the Yankees, the people of the six states of the American Northeast whose identity was forged in the Puritan settlements of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, the rocky soil and harsh winters of a landscape that rewarded ingenuity, self-reliance, and communal solidarity in equal measure, the New England town meeting whose direct democracy of every freeholder's voice in the governance of the community representing the oldest continuous democratic institution in the Americas and the seedbed of the revolutionary political culture that made New England the intellectual and moral engine of American independence. The New England world — whose Congregationalist tradition of the covenant community, the gathered church of visible saints whose members held each other accountable to a shared moral standard, produced both the theocratic rigidity of the Salem witch trials and the prophetic abolitionism of William Lloyd Garrison, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Frederick Douglass's New England allies whose moral insistence that slavery was incompatible with the American promise made New England the conscience of the republic in its greatest crisis, whose Industrial Revolution centered on the textile mills of Lowell, Lawrence, and Fall River transformed the rivers of New England into the power source of American manufacturing and the immigrant communities of Irish, French Canadian, Italian, and Portuguese mill workers into the working-class backbone of a regional identity that absorbed wave after wave of newcomers without losing its Yankee core, and whose cultural contributions of Transcendentalism, the American literary renaissance of Emerson, Thoreau, Hawthorne, Melville, and Dickinson, the research universities of Harvard, Yale, and MIT, and the democratic stubbornness of a people who still stop at every stop sign and argue at every town meeting — carry the Puritan covenant's demand for a more perfect community into a present the Yankees are still, characteristically, not entirely satisfied with. This interactive sweatshirt connects you to that principled and ingenious legacy with a QR code linking to the full story.
