How was the outlook of New Englanders in the 1670s different from the 1630s?

In the 1630s, New Englanders were largely optimistic and focused on building a new society based on their religious ideals and communal values, driven by a sense of purpose in establishing a "city upon a hill." By the 1670s, however, their outlook had shifted due to increasing conflicts with Indigenous peoples, economic challenges, and internal strife, leading to a more pragmatic and sometimes pessimistic view of their future. The tensions from King Philip's War (1675-1676) further exacerbated fears and concerns about survival and stability in the region. This shift reflected a transition from utopian aspirations to a more complex reality marked by struggle and adversity.
