Holland, in those days was known to be a tolerant place. The Pilgrims stayed there for a few years before they sailed on the Mayflower to what became Plymouth, MA. The only reason they did not stay there was that they felt that their English ways were under cultural threat. So they decided to settle in a hostile land.
Thanks for the information on joining the Huguenot Society; maybe after the election. I’m signed up to volunteer on the campaign in Mt. Pleasant, MI. I hope to be knocking on doors in my town of Shepherd and manning the campaign office in the city. I know it’s serious business, but also fun!
