The Conclusion first assesses whether there is a unified history of religious toleration in colonial America to be told. There is not because the colonies were all too different. Next, the Conclusion discusses what the sum of the individual chapters of the book, by focusing on law, contributes to the historiography of colonial America. As this book has endeavored to demonstrate, important lessons about history—including about religious history—can be learned by spotlighting law, just as they can by concentrating on economics, politics, and the like.
