The Idiot People (ie the masses) don't think for themselves and believe nearly anything that they are told with a straight face.
Exactly. The Puritans were late comers and outliers. The Virginia Company and Dutch West India Company are more representative of the founding principles of America. Even the Puritans were swamped by the Massachusetts Bay Company up north. The Puritans were a historical curiosity and the rest is mythology.

Dunno. The Puritans probably didn't like to screw enough to make many kids. And the Puritans got trampled by business interests anyway, which is where those prominent families came from.
Getting you daughter to say a rival families practising witchcraft so you can get your hand on their land sounds pretty money grabbing to me.
I thought the witch had to weigh the same as a duck before you could burn her.
