Bumped into this online. Looks to have been a handout for public middle or high school students. Was pleasantly surprised over the lack of spite for the Puritans. A more balanced, secular treatment. And I’m for a major rethink of our criminal justice system. I think moderate corporal punishment is much more humane for many criminals than simply throwing them into a cage with other hardened animals for years on end.
