In "The Devil and Tom Walker," Washington Irving criticizes the selfish and heartless sections of American society, especially usurers, by satirizing them through Tom Walker’s character. He also criticizes the hypocrisy of American religious groups through his satirical description of Tom’s churchgoing and through his mention of the Salem witch trials and the persecution of Quakers and Anabaptists. He also seems to suggest that American society was founded on violence and inequality:
"Since the red men have been exterminated by you white savages, I amuse myself by presiding at the persecutions of Quakers and Anabaptists; I am the great patron and prompter of slave dealers, and the grandmaster of the Salem witches."

Explanation:
In this passage, Jennings says that <u>both nature and "mankind" have made the man superior to his wife</u>. Some of his rights are "natural", others "acquired", but he has them all and his wife (obviously) none. It follows that a woman is utterly devastated if she chooses not to adapt and even submit to her husband.
This is not a general statement about avoidance of conflict. Nor is it about the man's social connections and influence - Jennings clearly thinks that man's power doesn't stem from social circumstances alone, but from nature too. It's not about women's education (or lack thereof) either. That part is not even mentioned.
