Also; What began with Columbus' voyage, on through the seventeenth century in Northern, Central and South America, these fine Christians who had established their colonies, had perpetuated the vastest holocaust and genocide in all of human history. Their Christian rampage to steal the lands from the native people had killed in average of well over 80 percent of the people. Their killing of native people amounted to probably more than 150 million victims. What was the mind set of these fine upstanding Christian people who felt it was their duty to slaughter all these native people? As Governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony, John Winthrop had put it, "It was the duty of Christians to carry the Gospel into those parts of the world, and to raise a Bulwark against the kingdom of the Ante-Christ."

Women were a major target for these which hunts because they were often found to be mixing brews of herbs probably for medical reasons and were accused of being handmaidens of Satan. These Witch hunts had killed men, women and children by these Protestant Christians with their stupid superstitious and perverted ideology. With the addition of slavery spreading throughtout the Americas, many of these slaves were involved in voodoo, the stage was set for another general panic and witch-hunt to begin which Protestant Christians formed the Ku Klux Klan.

This is the reason why you now have conflicting views on the subject.
