Let’s not forget “Ribault and hundreds of other French Huguenots were massacred by Menendez de Aviles.” These were the original European settlers of what is now the USA (well before the Pilgrims, before Jamestown, before Roanoke colony) slaughtered as POW’s of the founder of St. Augustine, because they would not convert to Roman Catholicism.

This was close to 400 people—mostly civilians.

So the first permanent settlement by Europeans in what is now the USA, was NOT St. Augustine, FL, it was the Huguenot’s Fort Caroline (in GA or FL (?))—wiped out by the Spanish—after just a year.

Just 7 years later, as many as 100,000 of fellow Huguenots, French Calvinist Protestants, were slaughtered in France—in one of the worst butcheries of civilians in European history, the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre.

I was not aware of that. Thank you for sharing.

Catholicism is a beast.
