     As I prepare to write a post concerning American history & culture, I stop to ask myself a few questions, find your personal answers if you wish, this will likely come up in my next or previous post and might interest you further.

• Look at what Puritans did with Anne Hutchinson. Is that something that still happens today? Were the Puritans right to make Hutchinson leave?

  
  

• How does the Puritans' view of the Indians during the 17th century reflect the human condition? How much does racism ever actually take part in society?

  
  

• How was the Salem witch trials anything but psychological? Do we still see this phenomenon today?

  
  

• How did more government involvement impact the colonists in America in the late 17th century under King Philip?
