This website gave a detailed description of Locke's life and times, focusing on the political upheavals, including the overthrow of James II and the bloody persecutions and massacres by the Puritans when they took over England. These experiences, along with Locke's forced exile to Holland for his political views, heavily influenced his theories--which in turn heavily influenced our founding fathers. For example, the massacres in the name of the state religion caused him to believe in freedom from religion, which shows up today in our American Bill of Rights (Amendment #1). His own experiences under different kings and under Cromwell's Puritans led to his belief in the legitimacy of revolution against tyrannical rulers---which shows up in our Declaration of Independence. Could Locke have formulated these concepts if he had lived in other times? Probably not. Locke is a great example of 'the times make the man.
