第3题：Surprisingly enough, modem historians have rarely interested themselves in the history of theAmerican South in the period before the South began to become self-consciously and distinctively "Southern"——the decades after 1815.Consequently, the cultural history ofBritain’s NorthAmerican empire in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries has been written almost as if the Southern colonies had never existe D、TheAmerican culture that emerged during theColonial and Revolutionary eras has been depicted as having been simply an extension of NewEngland Puritan culture. However, ProfessorDavis has recently argued that the South stood apart from the rest ofAmerican society during this early period, following its own unique pattern of cultural development. The case for Southern distinctiveness rests upon two related premises: first, that the cultural similarities among the five Southern colonies were far more impressive than the differences, and second, that what made those colonies alike also made them different from the other colonies. The first, for whichDavis offers an enormous amount of evidence, can be accepted without major reservations; the second is far more problematiC、 What makes the second premise problematic is the use of the Puritan colonies as a basis for comparison. Quite properly,Davis decries the excessive influence ascribed by historians to the Puritans in the formation ofAmerican culture. YetDavis inadvertently odds weight to such ascriptions by using the Puritans as the standard against which to assess the achievements and contributions of Southern colonials. Throughout,Davis focuses on the important, and undeniable, differences between the Southern and Puritan colonies in motives for and patterns of early settlement, in attitudes toward nature and NativeAmericans, and in the degree of receptivity to metropolitan cultural influences. However, recent scholarship has strongly suggested that those aspects of early NewEngland culture that seem to have been most distinctly Puritan, such as the strong religious orientation and the communal impulse, were not even typical of NewEngland as a whole, but were largely confined to the two colonies of Massachusetts andConnecticut. Thus, what in contrast to the Puritan colonies appears toDavis to be peculiarly Southern——acquisitiveness, a strong interest in politics and the law, and a tendency to cultivate metropolitan cultural models——was not only more typicallyEnglish than the cultural patterns exhibited by Puritan Massachusetts andConnecticut, but also almost certainly characteristic of most other early modernBritish colonies fromBarbados north to Rhode Island: and New Hampshire. Within the larger framework ofAmerican colonial life, then, not the Southern——but the Puritan colonies appear to have been distinctive, and even they seem to have been: rapidly assimilating to the dominant cultural patterns by the lateColonial perio D、 The author is primarily concerned with ______. A、refuting a claim about the influence of Puritan culture on the earlyAmerican South B、refuting a thesis about the distinctiveness of the culture of the earlyAmerican South C、refuting the two premises that underlieDavis’ discussion of the culture of theAmerican D、challenging the hypothesis that earlyAmerican culture was homogeneous in nature
