re: #17 Simply Sarah

This goes back to one of the Founding Myths of America. that the Pilgrrims came here to enjoy “religious freedom”.

The “religious freedom” they came to enjoy was the right to impose their theocracy on the entire community: to fine people for failing to attend church, to openly castigate and punish those who did not conform to their interpretation of God’s Law.

The “oppression” they were escpaing was from other people who did not wish to let them impose their religious beliefs on the rest of society. SO they fled to a place where they could be alone and undisturbed.
