    I mean, they fled Europe for religious freedom, doesn’t sound like anyone else was better so that’s kinda moot.

      The Puritans actually left because they were religious hardliners that the church wouldn’t tolerate, iirc. But that was more than a century before the revolutionary war.

        So maybe correct on freedom part, but wrong on the “not much better” part

      The puritans didn’t flee Europe for religious freedom, they fled Europe for the “freedom” to establish a society where they could force everyone to follow their religion. They were also only a fraction of people who settled America, many more were just looking to get rich quick.

      incorrect. They fled Europe because they were such intolerant pieces of shit that nobody fucking wanted them, and the “religious freedom” they were chasing was the freedom to oppress other religions.
