In coming from South Jersey, 20 miles from Philadelphia, I was interested in the Settlement by Pioneering. I recognized the names of the Native American Indians, Lenape, but there were Delaware Indians which were omitted. Thank you Lela for highlighting the early history and specifically the Separation of Religion. The test of which was institulized although not proven stable

Yes, it’s hard to cover everything. I probably accidentally deleted the Delawares when I was editing my notes into writing. I also think a society founded by dissenters might strive for orthodoxy, but already has a DNA of dissent. It took a lot of trial and error for Americans to work out what freedom of religion ought to look like.
