The Puritans were a stern bunch and those of the Church of England had songs to share, Christmas trees, feasts and presents. Rev.\u003cbr\u003eNewell of the First Congregational Church of New Cambridge said such things were of the devil. After the French and Indian War, England needed to replenish its sorely depleted treasury.\u003cbr\u003eEngland felt that since much of its expenditure was to protect the American colonies from French incursion, it only seemed right that the colonies should pay their share.\u003cbr\u003eThe American colonies did not agree and the beginnings of the Revolutionary War struggles began.
