When John and William come to visit in The Witch of Blackbird Pond, the men and women are each concerned with different issues. What concerns the men?

In
chapter 7, William and John spend some time with the Wood family. During the visit, William's
talk of building a house leads to a political discussion among the men. William's position is
that the colony should not do anything that would anger the King. John is studying with Dr.
Bulkeley and echoes the Reverend's loyalist position that perhaps Connecticut is misinterpreting
the charter. Matthew is in favor of freedom and thinks that William and John are too young to
fully understand the situation. Through this argument, we see the conservative, pragmatic, and
radical positions on the matter that we know will eventually lead to the American Revolution.
The argument ends the evening's activities, as John and William leave when Matthew storms
upstairs.
