Hm. Also, I'd submit that the history of white relations to religion isn't nearly as clear-cut as this makes it seem. Sure, the Puritans were escaping from religious persecution, but no sooner did they set down in Plymouth than they were legislating their own religion as the One True one. Mary Dyer, hanged in 1660 for preaching Quaker beliefs in Boston, is a good example.
