Hangings and burnings were the norm for Philip and Caleb in Puritan society.
The two boys found the inhumane acts to be fun and exhilarating, Philip more so than Caleb because of his younger age.
They were something to look forward to after a busy day.

For the betterment and security of Caleb and his brother's souls.
These murders were making Gravesfield a better place.
