Religious observance was ordained by statute.
I'm not trying to be pedantic,but Colonial History is my "thing", they are portraying Pilgrims,ie Plymouth (Plimoth) settlers.
They were not all "Puritans" in the strict sense of the word, they would be more aptly described as "Sepertarists"and not all settlers were there for religious reasons.
Puritans settled Boston,later on and would in time overshadow and absorb the Plimoth colony.
Thanks for the info!
True.
I love colonial history as well, though the Puritans are my big interest; not too interested in the Pilgrims.
