Few things I’ve learned so far:
1) Puritans would probably accuse me of witchcraft for my physical strength and intelligence.
2) Puritans and Pilgrims gave out punishments like candy for their own capital greed or for power. It’s either pay the shillings or suffer publicly!!
3) If you’re ever put on trial in court, never ever agree to the Ordeal by Touch or Ordeal by Blood test. It never works in your favor!
