Didn't catch that Happy Homelands. Why did Styx recommend this book? I mean how did this come up in conversation? In relation to the pandemic panic?

Here is an old documentary you could check out. I vaguely remember watching back in the day.

The Salem Witch Trials is covered briefly in the book Conceived in Liberty by Murray Rothbard.

Aftermath of the 1690s:
The Salem Witch-Hunt and Stoughton’s Rise to Power
Page 442

"If the Mather-Phips coalition had been allowed to continue in control, Massachusetts might have found a tolerable and even welcome path into the eighteenth century: the steady easing of Puritan restrictions combined with a decided drift back to the effective Massachusetts independence from royal depredatoins. In short, Massachusetts might have been able to advance toward a synthesis of the best of the two contending sides of the recent past: the self-governing and freedom of trad of the Puritans (without the theocratic persecutions), and the religious freedom and mercantile cosmopolitanism of the pro-royal opportunists (without the royal despotism). But such a synthesis for liberal independence was not to be. For at the heart of the new regime was a sinister canker: Lieutenant Governor William Stoughton. Stoughton was determined to overthrow this moderate liberalism in order that he and his friends – including the formerly discredited Joseph Dudley – might return to power, and that he might renew his plundering of Massachusetts.

"Stoughton and Dudley were determined to regain power and to reimpose a royal absolutism that they would lead, at the head of a newly plundering oligarchy. To do this they would have to discredit and eliminate Governor Phips. With great luck, William Stoughton found his opportunity at hand; opportunity to split the ordinarily antiroyalist masses and to rally the body of Puritan theocrats behind him. In short, Stoughton found a way to rally the two extremes, to swing the Puritan masses behind his Tory opportunists in order to crush the moderate center. This opportunity was the notorious Salem witch-hunt of 1692."

Posted by CourseofEmpireThe vast majority are vaxxed. This can’t be the unvaxxed who are mostly dying. Remember, they are a few months ahead of the Northern hemisphere.

Posted by CourseofEmpireAwesome 😂
