Answer:
Puritanism, a religious reform movement in the late 16th and 17th centuries that sought to “purify” the Church of England of remnants of the Roman Catholic “popery” that the Puritans claimed had been retained after the religious settlement reached early in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. Puritans became noted in the 17th century for a spirit of moral and religious earnestness that informed their whole way of life, and they sought through church reform to make their lifestyle the pattern for the whole nation. Their efforts to transform the nation contributed both to civil war in England and to the founding of colonies in America as working models of the Puritan way of life.
To make a long story short, It's a religion made in the 16th to 17th centuries.
P.S can i get a brainly :)
I think it was because we really don't know what exactly happened in the past.
Also, I'm pretty sure people did not keep track of colored people back then.
There is a chance that people won't be able to relate to the proverbs: then the effect will be very small.
But if people can relate to the proverbs, they could be inspired, for example if they are afraid to act, they could derive courage from the proverbs.
People can also feel less lonely, if the proverbs express their feelings: then they will know they are not the only ones to feel the way they feel
