Puritan Burial

The Battle began after Captain Benjamin Church leads his men into an ambush. While merely a handful of men died Church began to use this as a tale to preach in hopes of creating a nationalist community sparking from a common enemy. The story of how the natives would dismember and decapitate the dead left on the battlefield without a proper Catholic burial. Appalled by the stories of Church the Puritans began demanding that bodies be given a proper burial. This proved very difficult as the retrieval of the dead was the perfect set up for an ambush. If one was lucky enough and no ambush was made bodies would be hastily buried on the battlefield. This was a rarity as most bodies had been scavenged and as the customs of a proper burial took too
long and had too many necessities. This was the beginning of a moral abandonment from the church.
