She was the wife of a president at war with his own nation. She came from slave-owning parents from a Confederation-supporting Kentucky town.

The Puritans all lived for their religion together. Their strong beliefs and strict rules made it, in a sense, ideal for hysteria. The Chesapeake colonies didn't have such strong religious order.
