. . . . . entries for 25.8.05 . . . . . The more I read of my APUSH, the more I think the average Puritan of New England in the late 1600s was a pretty cool person, and that the society there was pretty wicked awesome for the time period. Observe the quote in my sidebar to see one reason why. xD I swear, the radical Separatists gave those ladies and gents a bad name. I love being a history nerd.
Comments:
Someone pointed out to me that Northeastern being-on-time, being-stressed-out, and being-efficient might have something to do with the fact that that area was colonized by the Puritans. It makes some sense. We have Puritan galore in us--right back to Mr. Howland on the Mayflower. But we Howland-Shearmans don't ever stress. Oh no no no no no...
Oh wait. I meant we aren't on time.
xD I got the whole Puritan attitude in the Northeast thing too, as I was reading that. We're kind of ethnoreligious mutts, Cas. Catholicism, Puritanism, apparently non-denominational Protestantism, Judaism. . .
Which means guilt, uppitidy, a work ethic, and unhealthily intellectual tendencies with a tendency to be victimized.
