The Great Families of New England wished to build a place where they could live their lives as they wished, without any brash revolutionaries calling to “tax the rich” or any of the other similarly trite slogans. Part of that effort was a fundamental transformation of the kind of people who lived there. They had to be both peaceful and kind, unwilling to make waves, and happy to live in a supportive, all-encompassing community. They had to be willing to help anyone, but unwilling to call for any fundamental political change. They had to trust the government, and distrust those rugged individuals that sought fame and fortune in other lands. The Great Families spent literal centuries, starting even before they officially formed the Federation, building this ideal society from the inside out. It is, as the saying goes, A Better America, for Better Americans.
