Anyhow the funny bit is that they were also being persecuted by christians.
The settlers who landed at Plymouth were not persecuted because they were more progressive in their religon, but rather because they were DIFFERENT and distanced themselves from the commonly accepted brands of christianity in Europe | Your point is?
And for the record, it wasn't "Europe", but "England" - and basically they were escaping a theocracy. |
