The western settlers were a quite diverse group. Many came from the South. They certainly didn’t all come from a narrow group in one region of the northeast? This is...basic history.
Exactly, they were virtually all Anglo Christian immigrants, and voluntary immigration selects for individualism. Same genotype, different phenotype.
You have changed the goal posts about three times now. I said Puritans and Libertarians, not Anglo Christians.
Are you going to claim that American Puritans & Libertarians don't have the same strong Anglo Christian roots?
