The Witchfinder General Defends the Great State of Massachusetts

The greate Common-Wealth of Massachusetts is oft unjustly slandered. The Ignorant shall saye that the inhabitants of this fair colonie drive Carriages like mad-men; that they are too much enamored with Crimson Stockings and Those Who Love Their Countrie; and that they are as sullen and cruel as a New-England winter. The Witchfinder General dis-proves this Slander, and denounces it for the Profession of Heresy that it is.
"What's up with the weird accent?" It's a rendition of Original Early Modern English Pronunciation, commonly abbreviated as OP, an accent reconstructed by a linguist and Shakespeare scholar that's our best guess as to what people in southern England sounded like in the 17th century.

    Starbucks: named for a heathen Quaker character in a work of fiction, with a lustful slattern out of pagan myth as its symbol Dunkin: named for one of the ways to discern whether an accused person is a witch

    Massachusetts wouldn't be such a bad place, if not for those enamored by the Stockings of Crimson, Those Who Love their Country, and worship pagan idols such as dark-furred Bears and little green men from the Emerald Isle. (But shush! I am secretly in league with that sect within the Papist Jesuitical order that has adopted a local North American bird-of-prey as its symbol...)

    The irony of these videos, in conjunction with your Civil War compendium, is quite striking. Indeed, the 17th century residents of Massachusetts Bay were intolerant and strident in their endeavor to create the proverbial City on a Hill. The irony arises insofar, as it that very self-same assurance and intolerance for perceived evil, that made their descendants, some 150 years later, both the first and most strident abolitionists. The unwillingness to accept or compromise with wrong-doing, while extreme even by 17th century standards in neighboring colonies (though certainly not as pervasive in MB as we now think)..led in a direct line to an unwillingness to accept taxation without representation (notwithstanding the taxes were miniscule by English standards)...then to the abolitionist, women's rights and Progressive movement, While one may debate that a certain air of hypocrisy attends all these causes and those who promoted it......the Witch-Finder's descendants may well have first sounded that fire-bell in the night for white Americans and well have later died in the pursuit of their convictions...keep up the brilliance and that most amazing accent...
