People being murderred for a difference of opinion, and somebody makes a peurile comment?
In the New World, in the Colony of Connecticut, in the town of Hartford, a young woman named Alsee Young, was hung for ‘the crime of witchcraft’ in 1640!
That is 20 years after the landing at Plymouth Rock.
In today’s America, 2021, there are a large number of Pagans defending the rights of all Americans, by serving in the military.
I highly recommend this book if you are interested in the history of the Salem Witch Trials.

The thing was that likely no one who was hanged was practicing witchcraft but much of it had to do with property disputes and personal grudges.
