A lot of people came here to escape religious persecution. oddly enough, many of them turned around and began perscuting others. So you would say that anything that occurred between 1492 and 1776 weren't part of our national heritage? If you really want to strictly define "national" to exclude anything leading up to the American revolution, I suppose that's your choice, but that overlooks a lot of our history.
““Only if by national heritage you’re referring to the Salem witch trials.”
That was England, our national heritage really started almost a hundred years later.”
Thats right.
