"They had very strict religious beliefs and dress code however, and those in the Puritan Colonies who preached religious tolerance were exiled and forced to either swim back to England or learn survival skills from the evil Indians. Of these people, the most well known are Anne Hutchinson, and Roger Williams who went on to found Rhode Island for religious tolerance. Upon arriving on the new land, they found harsh conditions that nearly killed them off and savages whom they nearly killed off in order to survive those conditions. Puritans have given many things to modern society, including intolerance, witch-hunts, and the Amerindian Holocaust."@en . "Around 1650 A.D., Nick Knight is staying with a Puritan friend, a farmer named Matthew. Secretly, Nick steals out to the barn each night in order to fly off and hunt. Unfortunately, Matthew repeatedly glimpses him coming and going, and finds it difficult to reconcile what is going on with his friendship with Nick. On the one hand, Nick could be a demon; but Nick scoffs at the suggestion, which Matthew is loathe to believe, since he likes Nick. The only alternatives, though, are that he himself must be insane or possessed. Nick fails to take seriously the degree to which Matthew is disturbed, since he is far more worried about keeping the secrect of his vampirism. He is appalled when Matthew hangs himself."@en . . . .
