== == This group of bigots were called the "Puritans". They thought that they had a much better way of practicing their religion and left Great Britain to be able to live without being challenged by others about their restrictive life style. They were narrow minded and beset by superstition and a mistrust of all but their own "kind" of people. If it were not for the kindness of the Aboriginal peoples, they would have starved to death that first winter.
