Provenance: "The Hope Trust" Edinburgh. English Dissenters: Protestant Christians who disagreed in opinion belief and other matters and separated from the Church of England in the 17th and 18th centuries. Many emigrated to the "New World" especially to British colonies the Thirteen Colonies on the Atlantic coast of North America and also to Canada. It is considered by many that English dissenters played a key role in the spiritual development of the United States. This spirit of independence initially born of the determination to achieve independence in conduct of religious observance gave rise eventually to the American Revolutionary War of 1775 and subsequent independence in 1776.
