The Virginians were better off than the Puritans were‚ because they had tobacco for a cash crop‚ they had a longer growing season‚ and they could trade and sell to England easier than the Puritans could. The Virginians were also more loosely structured than the Puritans‚ and were allowed to be individual people instead of one large mass. Smith and Bradford’s ways of leading their colonies were similar‚ yet so very different. Smith’s main concern was to make money and

In the most basic sense evidentialism focuses on the justifications‚ beliefs‚ conclusions‚ and the evidence for each of these for any given person. William Clifford’s work‚ The Ethics of Beliefs‚ presents his principle of evidentialism and how one must judge the beliefs and justifications rather than consequences. Given Clifford’s definition‚ counter arguments regarding the necessity of consequences towards an individual’s action arise to invalidate Clifford’s claim. I will argue that despite the

The sermon by Edwards tries to show those who have not stayed with the Puritan religion that without God‚ they are a disgrace

Abigail Williams is the very antithesis of the Puritan people of Salem. They are religious‚ she is not. They have to repress their desires‚ with a creed that “forbade anything resembling a theatre or ‘vain enjoyment’”‚ and she does not. She goes on to try to seduce John Proctor‚ having had an affair with him before. I get the impression that she is a very dissembling person.
