@LibertyCappy I found the first of my father’s ancestors arrived in 1650 to North Carolina. He was a Scottish farmer who brought his family. We found proof my family fought in the Revolutionary war, war of 1812, many other battles and even both sides of the Civil War. We built this country.
Reminder that the bad guy in the Pocahontas movie (purple Gov. Ratcliffe) was...in reality...incredibly kind to the Native tribes!
And they repaid that by brutally torturing him to death after capturing him in a ruse that was basically Virginia's October 7th!
The Virginia Company made the settlers who arrived at Jamestown try this out
They were under strict orders to avoid fighting, to try to convert the Indians, to work with them rather than defeat and expel them
That led to much suffering, culminating in the 1622 Massacre, in which a third of the colony died
Then they went scorched earth on the Indians, wiping out as many as they could and engaging in harsh reprisals. That worked much better, and bought them 20 years of peace
They did the same when confronted by the sand problem in 1644, and then Nathaniel Bacon wiped out what remained of the I Dian problem during his rebellion
Peace at any cost let only to death. War and stern reprisals created the conditions for a prosperous society
@HistorianUSA1 Here a wild concept for everyone: let’s encourage women to be stay at home moms and pay men a wage that can support a family. That way we won’t have to send our kids to daycare where they could potentially be used for profit or abused by negligent teachers or indoctrinated.
@mattvanswol@EndWokeness Matt, you have to remember there is no reasoning with them. They don’t care about facts, only feelings. They feel that Anthony was acting in self defense because they can’t allow themselves to admit it’s their own kind that are the violent ones & therefore admit what we all know.
@Asmon_Updates I’ve been watching you for a while, I’m a 37 year old woman who was pretty much a tomboy growing up and always hung out more with guys and understand the male mind. I also hate other woman and agree that the feminist movement was probably one of societies biggest downfalls
