ABSTRACT
New England becomes a temporal place that would provide the foundation for English immigrants' development of Anglo-Saxonism patterned after the Anglo-Saxon vision of the true Christian Church of England. In New England, the victor's narrative, which culminates in the writings of William Bradford, and John Winthrop, recreates the Anglo-Saxon migration myth, carries it forward, and animates the myth to provide a reason, context, and propitious future projection for the New England immigrant community. Bradford's rightful place in the development of Anglo-Saxonism deserves mention because he places the Saxon Christendom model squarely on New World shores with a purpose: To initiate a purposeful social crossing. Cotton Mather's main intent in the Magnalia following his placement of Bradford in the New World is to articulate an American-Saxon migration myth founded upon geopolitically-based ideas of Christianography, and to defend Bradford's geographical move to America against charges of flight and heathenism.
