Now that's what i call concocted history.

" ... They also replaced the word “capitalism” throughout their texts with the “free-enterprise system.” ..." *

Doublespeak at its best.
Well it's not really something to laugh about. But then the pilgrims left Europe for their crude, not-only religiously motivated, beliefs

Greetings,

* You probably think why i laugh about that:
In the 1980ies, when we went to England, we did so with a ferry called "Herald of free Enterprise". It was a cheap-built ship, no bulkheads (ok ferries seldomly have), thin steel sheets and crappy bow-doors with weak hinges. "Free enterprise" (or capitalism?) at its best lol.

When we wanted to go back we were informed the "Herald of Free Enterprise" had sunk, when a bow door came off in heavy seas, taking a lot of passengers and all freight with it. We did not despair, but we did also NOT book on the sister ship, the "Free Enterprise 2"
