Post 567:”But killing and torture of those who did not subscribe to the particular Protestant brand of each colony were, until the federal government quelled it. Massachusetts was a particularly barbaric colony, although several others vied for its level of barbarism. Where did you guys get your education? Have you no idea of what was actually done in history or do you have the usual American glaze eyed deer in the headlights stare when it comes to actual reality? “
So.... where’s all the killing and torture? Those links don’t show the feds stepping in to stop it. How’d this get off topic to a survey of the religious preferences of the individual states or colonies?
When the killing started, there was no federal government. Is your education really that lacking? Do you really think that Cotton Mather is a cartoon? Do you think that Quakers (who repudiated Calvinism) wound up in Pennsylvania by accident? Do you think that the Baptists went south for the weather?
