I'm spending a few minutes on New England's south coast, and continue (as someone from far away from any of these places) to find it hilarious and remarkable that Massachusetts likes to inscribe on rocks and monuments a story of how its white settlers were persecuted by England so they set up a new AND BETTER nation, and Rhode Island does exactly the same but its story is that it was persecuted by Massachusetts.
This is greeted with a stoic silence from MA that I imagine has lasted 350 years
