    We can also credit the Puritans for their belief in teaching boys AND girls to read. The practice of only educating boys was still prevalent in 1900 in England when my grandmother was a young girl. The Puritans expected everyone in their church to read the bible of their time. Teaching girls to read was quite a step forward and spread through other colonies over time.

    At least 8 of my mother's ancestors were on the Mayflower. One of the reasons for their making landfall was the need for water. That first winter half of them died from various illnesses that probably were new to them. They brought illness from Europe and appear to have been impacted by those found in America. The abandoned native village they first inhabited had been abandoned due a plague in the village.

    If you ever get to the area around Oxford, go to Old Jordan to see the Mayflower Barn. The timbers match the description of the beams from the Mayflower, including the repair on the beam mentioned here. You can also see the Meeting House used by the Quakers and see the graves of many of William Penn’s family. That is part of one of the Girl Scouts’ three Old World New Dreams routes in England. When ships were no longer seaworthy, they were often sold to build barns.

    One valuable piece of the puzzle they are missing is the fact that the Mayflower leaders held the seasons by the stars calculations. They did not just look around and hope they got planting right and were ignorant of this fact. They held the alignment of the seasons that some Indians held and that was one piece of the respected puzzle that quickly bonded them. As for the Indians, they were at war with each other for hundreds of years and were hunting each others tribes to kill or make slaves. This is what some tribes felt when they first saw the white man as they were cautious in dealing with them.

    My ancestor, Moses Fletcher was aboard the Mayflower and one of the signatories of the Mayflower Compact. He was a blacksmith by trade. He was related to my grandpa, Albert Washington Fletcher on my maternal side. I never knew about this until the mid 70s, around 11/12 years old, when dusting a bookshelf at my Mom's and a book fell with a piece of paper falling out. I looked at it and said the Mayflower Manifest. I looked through the names and saw Moses Fletcher. Asking Mom about this, she said he was our relative but that paper was just a copy of the actual manifest.

They were warriors though. They fought for this country in every war and worked on the underground railroad. They were amazing people.

Puritans never thought that opposite opinions might be correct.

    There were others here before they arrived. Some folks are direct descendants of the Puritans and they believed in literacy for both men and women which was not common back in England. The French were already here and were known to have gotten along better with the Indigenous nations and much of our language is indigenous based. Majority of roads today in Connecticut and the other New England states are the original native trails. Going back to the 1300's over what became Michigan, corresponds with what would become the fight for independence, eventually, with many different wars and conflicts. The Ulster Scots and Germans, all in the Appalachia region had a direct say in the war of Independence. The Dutch were here long before then, in the large NYC and Connecticut region too . Of course, I only barely touched what was happening, including what is now New Brunswick and Canada.

    Puritans persecuted? What a load of propaganda. During the reigns of Elizabeth or James I, name two - just two - Puritans who were burned at the stake or tortured.They lost some civil rights, precisely because they wouldn't conform to the Anglican church, which was horribly sinful in their eyes. This rigid sanctimony made them quite unpopular and actively disliked - they banned Christmas, forbade dancing, tore down Maypoles, outlawed gambling and card games and theater performances, and would have turned England into a theocracy. They sought refuge in Holland, but the Dutch were too sinful for them. As for religious freedom in the New World, that's a damned lie. They wanted freedom for themselves, not for Quakers or Anabaptists or heaven forbid Catholics. They were horrified by Indian polygamy and polytheism whereas the Indians were astonished at how cruel they were to children and animals. The best that can be said about them is that they prized literacy.

    That’s correct. Even back then, people knew that Christmas is of purely pagan origins, not sanctioned or promoted in the Bible. The Jews did not celebrate birthdays as this was a pagan custom connected to worship of false gods. Jesus never told anyone to celebrate his birthday, he only asked his true followers to memorialise his sacrificial death.

    I am so very thankful to God that the Pilgrims saw the wisdom of establishing Plymouth Colony as a republic instead of a democracy as many of you people continue to call it. I also thank God that the founders of the United States also saw, and followed the same wisdom. I am grateful that you conceded the importance of writing the Mayflower Compact, and successive laws. Writing endures. Memories fail. I thank God for Bradford, Massasoit, Standish, Squanto, saints, strangers, and Wampanoag and the others whose charity allowed Plymouth Colony to thrive.

    The English constitution was established soon after the Roman legions left. It's principles and traditions were well known and practiced by everyone. When King John failed to uphold his duties under the constitution he was forced to sign a document called The Magna Carta in 1215 which spells out the principles and duties the monarch was required to uphold in return for his station. The English constitution was written before but reiterated in 1215. All laws and statutes padsed since that time had to comply with this foundational agreement.

    The Pilgrims went to the New World to Worship as they wished and then proceeded that anybody else near them be pilgrims as well. Becomes a little less noble when you hear it that way. Of course Indians had no rights at all once the Musket cleared them out. That issue goes back to the Bankers and a lesser degree the monarchs who simply needed boots on the ground who paid homage to England. The notion that Europeans could go to unknown lands and simply clear out the natives was in no way set in stone. Colonizing far away lands for exploitation was a concept totally new to Europeans if not all other parts of the known world. I suppose the Portuguese, the Dutch and the Spanish made the decision they had a right to. Who thought it over and decided they had a right to do that.. The first colony was in an area now called South Africa. It occurred around 1450. We all know about nations fighting nations usually if not always with borders touching the other nation. Of course the whole colonial mess started with Corporate entities. Before 1600, only Spain and Portugal were in the colonizing game/ To all essential purposes, all English colonizing after the monarchy ceased to be the main powerhouse, after the English Revolution. Most the work was done by corporations such as the East and West India Co. How do they go about claiming a land for England or Holland that is already occupied? Interesting that the elites who caused most of this shit are blaming it on White people. Most white people back then were Indentured Servants if they went to the New World. Hardly White People; definitely, multi=generational elites which was a race all to their own who never intermarried with ordinary whites

I know that the Spanish came in and wiped out lots of South American tribes and some of the North and Central American tribes beginning in the 1400s but why? Why did they not have the ships and steel and the advancements that won out? No one ever explains why Asians and Europeans advanced technology while other continents did not continue to advance. It's not raw intelligence of one race versus the other. I think we know that is not the case so why?

They had Buffaloes and I'm no expert on this subject but I don't believe they are nearly as easy to domesticate as cattle & oxen. In South America they used Llamas as pack animals. so yeah, they did adapt but obviously could only play the cards they were dealt. and until the 1600's its not like they had anyone outside of the America to compete with.
