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.
