It wasn't just New England. Granted, the English were bad enough, with their land-grabbing ways, and puritanical religious zealotry. But, they weren't alone.
The Spanish colonized the south, bringing pretty much the same kind of "...selfishness and greed (backed by messed up religious hang-ups)". They "converted" the natives of Florida, Central America, the West Indies, and on up to California, at the point of a sword, and the muzzle of the newly-invented guns. All the while, they were stealing everything the natives had, while conducting their obsessed search for the riches of fabled "El Dorado".
Wasn't it just ducky, the way the Europeans "brought civilization", to the "savages" of the New World?
That, folks, is how our nation got started.

In this world, a person can DEMAND respect ........ or COMMAND it.
The former will seldom - if ever - achieve the latter.
