Years ago I saw a teeshirt that had a gorgeous silhouette of a brave on his horse in front of a sunset with a crossbow in his raised hand. The caption below was "What if?" I found that to be SO profound. If the natives had had the wherewithal to protect themselves, this country might have a very different history.
It's because most of us are the spawn of immigrants that I find it SO ironic now when I hear Americans complain about the current immigration situation. I personally can't begrudge anyone for wanting to come here when my own great grandparents did the same about 100 years ago. At least they aren't coming here trying to kill us all off to take what we have like the Europeans did to the natives!
Happy Thanksgiving EVERYONE.
I hope we DO learn from history so we never repeat it.
