*Puritans and Pirates*
I sort of see where you are going with this but this is an oversimplification.
As a person who has studied and continuing to study New England and New York history of the early 17th cen to early 18th cen. for decades - Yes there were Puritans
in New England 1600s also Quakers and Baptist in Rhode Island
(some in RI who got mixed in with Pirates of the time)
New York 1600s were English, Dutch, French Huguenots and Belg. Wallons (Some of these folks got mixed in with Pirates as they were dependant on the sea and also associated to Cos. in Europe.
It wasn’t exactly a black or white situation.
Of course it’s an oversimplification. It is intended as a mental exercise, not a sociological treatise. Like the infinite monkeys hypothesis. And, if I may make an observation, you seem to take a Puritan view of the exercise.
