The pilgrims were primarily Presbyterians. After they has assinated the Archbishop of St Andrews, they became hunted and killed. One of the popular means of dispatch was to tie them to a stake in the tidal flats of a bay. Then slowly watch them drown. That is the motivation for the words "You take the high road, and I'll take the low road, and you'll be in Scotland before me." They learned fast. They became the most cruel ruling government America has ever known. Ken Kimble

Ken, I think you are wrong, but I also don't think this list is the place to debate a religious issue. But the Pilgrims weren't Presbyterians...they were Separatists as were Presbyterians, and both groups espoused many Calvinist ideas, especially that the church could not rule the state. I also take issue with your sweeping statement about them being the most cruel ruling government in American history. But that's for another list, I guess.
