    I forgot the source but there was a YouTuber that did a deep dive. It boiled down to Hershey being forced to pivot his goals. If I remember correctly he started with strict moral and civil planning and then it got progressively ness strict growing into an actual city.

      Oh deeply devout quaker style Catholic, you do everything for the sake of good hard work and labor. Gotta accept a little bit of time period appropriateness.

        I am so sorry but I do not understand your comment. If you want an example of being forced to change. Hershey initially wanted the city to be a dry City, that didn’t last long.

          I’m from the area I know a lot about Hershey. But I meant he was a quaker esque religious descendant, which I know realize might not mean a lot outside of the US, people who were the predominant religious zealouts who founded the USA out of not wanting to be near all the hippies.

          Specifically he was a Mennenite which probably means even less, so think Amish if you know that, or deeply devout conservative jew that believes in more suffering as being needed to love God. Interesting group. Even if he was progressive that background doesn’t let you get too far away I would think.
