You're weighing the New England Puritans too heavily, as a lot of people
do: for a variety of reasons their Plymouth-Thanksgiving version got
"stretched" to be the colonial archetype. In fact, they were way
outnumbered (and for a long time economically out-prospered as well) by
those in Virginia and its neighbors -- nearly all good Anglicans.
