Excellent thread about little known early American history. It's very fortunate that there were Indian allies, and the Indian opponents never could get their act together and fight efficiently.

It's interesting that even at that early date the English settlers outnumbered the Indian natives. If you look at the early American birth rate, it was rather phenomenal. They could outbreed even bunny rabbits, while the American Indians had a much lower birth rate.

Plus, the English had at least a partial immunity to the diseases they brought with them like small pox and measles, and the completely defensive Indians had nothing equivalent to spread back to spread back to them while being decimated by European-born epidemics.

"and the completely defensive Indians"

Oops, that should be "and the completely defenseless Indians", in reference to their total lack of immunity to European diseases.

Sunshine? What's that?
Since the 1st of the month we've had 3 (that's 1..2..3) days that haven't been cloudy/raining.

If you look at the early American birth rate, it was rather phenomenal.

Other than work it's not like they had much else to do.

We have sunshine, but the wind continues to blow down from the North. Cold out there.

[Valin]

Sunshine...sunshine? You know I think I saw some the other day (lasted for a good 20mins.). Big bright thing up in the sky, right?

[Soaring Feather]

Yupper, was it at sunset, that is usually par for the course in NY.

Well, we just got back from driving out to the lake to check on the fishing.

My brother from Texas is coming down with his son tommorow. They're going to saty a couple of days and they're planning on doing some fishing while they're here.

The pattern itself was insidious. As a first step, whites would invade Indian lands and establish permanent settlements. Later, after a period of trade and friendly exchanges, the Indians came to realize that they were being swindled, usually out of their valuable lands, by the whites.

The same thing is happening now, with TROP.
