Answer:

Many of the early American authors held similar beliefs. We value your spirituality, bravery, and hard work. The first Americans were devout Christians who had to escape persecution in England. They counted on being protected in the New World by God's promise. Because of their precarious situations, courage and hard work were highly prized by these authors.

Immigrants to New England needed to have the guts to survive the harsh climate. Early settlers needed to work hard to build safe communities for themselves and their children. Therefore, hardworking people were a threat to both them and their communities.
