Between 1620 and 1640, many Puritan believers migrated to New England, a colony in the Americas, with a belief that the Church of England was not sufficiently reformed and retained too much of the Catholic roots after its reformation. The church has accused you of a crime you did not commit in the new colony, and despite the sentence not being too harsh, you are dead set on proving the church and community wrong. What happens? Begin your story as you receive your sentence.
