Why would eventual prosperity and comfort lead to their failure to develop it? Not saying you're wrong, just curious. Maybe explaining your reasoning will help you pick an answer. :)

The reason why it is prosperity and comfort is because the Puritans had really strong, strict beliefs where you could barely do anything and because they became more relaxed and in comfort and prosperity their values eventually dropped which was why they failed because the were trying to create the model society. AKA 'light on a hill'
