The title is one that I had to create since this is taken from Beck's radio show.
Did you know that American history is divided between those who brought to the New World Kindness, Good Relations, and Freedom?
Versus those who "came over to rape this land" and who brought Misery, Slavery, Abuse, and eventually Cannibalism?
Well you can learn all about it from master historian Glenn Beck, who is planning to share this Forgotten History with lucky Americans in his coming "Restoring the Covenant" Crusade.

Lol! Me too
Beck skips La Florida, and the Spanish colonial settlement St. Augustine (which had slaves working the large estancias around and in the town). So, he has enrolled in the sanitized version of the 1619 project-— he appears to be on board with that notion.
St. Augustine was established in 1565, and was the colonial capital of Spanish Florida for over 200 years. It and St. Mary’s Georgia predate 1620 Plymouth colony by 55 years, and the other non continental US Spanish colonies are seriously older than that.
thanks for posting this— re-confirms what a misguided person Beck can be. His work on the Holodomor was spot on. But his background of being a drunk catholic convert to Mormonism.... caps his whacko rewrites of himself and life.
Fleming’s book is great! Another that brings this jealousy to the fore, and outlines the first Secession (New England)— is “Founding Brothers” by Ellis. He has a “grind” but all in all it is a balanced and well written story of how our Republic came to be. Begins the back looking narrative, with the duel between Hamilton and Aaron Burr (in great detail of their differences that led to the duel).
The experience in the Polynesian history is human flesh was referred to a “long pig”. Sailors in the old days, if stranded often had to resort to cannabilism, if they couldn’t fish and eat raw fish.
So true. Beck has been nuts a long time.
“So.....why did Pilgrim Beck choose to attack a colony & people that ceased to exist centuries ago?”
Well they didn’t cease to exist. The people of Jamestown spread out to Williamsburg and Richmond and the rest of Virginia. There’s plenty of Americans who can trace their ancestry to Jamestown.
“channel Howard Zinn.”
That’s a good description of what he’s doing.
not the first time grandkids better than their grandparents. See Italian Mafia.
One thing about Jamestown has always intrigued me. I lived in that area of VA. for 20 years and took LOTS of relatives on Jamestown/Williamsburg tours. My particular point of interest is: history states that they cut blocks of ice out of the James River and stored them in deep holes to preserve their food supply. I never saw the James River freeze solid, so that blocks of ice could be cut out. I know this sounds trivial, but...!
Captain John Smith wrote of sailing up the Potomac, so we know that the Jamestown colonists were familiar with that river. I grew up in Arlington and saw the Potomac freeze solid many times, so they could have been cutting ice up there. That is a good question though.
“Virginia was settled mostly by people from Wessex”
I traced some of my Virginia ancestors to parts of London and to the region around Bristol. Nothing definite, these old records tend to leave you wondering.
Quaker women weren’t welcome in any colonies outside of their own. They were punished and ejected for various misogamist (marriage-hating) offenses, most often tied to “carttails,” whipped and sent away. There was a lengthy study of that matter cited and revealed over 15 years ago during the figurative slaying of a feminist sacred cow (Anthony).
As for the time of the Revolution, that was long after the early settlements. America, including Virginia, was more moral at the time than Europe. George Washington had Lieutenant Frederick Gotthold Enslin dismissed with infamy and drummed out for attempted sodomy—not a trivial sentence during that time. If Enslin had been caught doing the actual deed, he might have been hanged.
I’m glad that this country is not a dominion of Britain, Spain, Italy, Ireland or Germany.
I’m glad to be an American with rights like those in our Second Amendment. It’s great to have religious freedom and a somewhat more moral heritage than elsewhere. Glad the Puritans, Huguenots and others were in the mix and glad that the French helped with the Revolution. The Revolution worked out just fine. The U.S.A. is the greatest nation in the world, and under the circumstances, couldn’t have turned out better.

As for Beck, by the way, I don’t pay any attention to him. ;)
Around 1700, the state-house burned down in Jamestown, and the seat of government moved to Williamsburg. Jamestown became just a sign on a post, with a couple of families farming out of the local area, and remembered for nothing by the local families.
That’s fine, but Jamestown the village isn’t what Glenn Beck is attacking.
He’s vilifying the people who colonized Jamestown as “coming to rape the land”, bringing misery, slavery, abuse, and cannibalism.
It’s nothing to do with the actual physical plant of Jamestown. It’s the society and culture of Virginia that he’s slandering.
The Puritans are the progenitors of today’s Left. They weren’t the relatively benign Pilgrims that they displaced.
I detest Glen Beck
Anyone who uses race as the crucible in determining American heritage is plain and simple a myopic weak fool
Many conservatives including some on this forum ...some of note I might add....think denigrating parts of the most historical conservative elements of America will somehow endear them and their cuck version of conservatism to minorities of racial ethnic sexual or religious stripe
I could see Beck was of this sickness early on.
Most talk radio does this some more than others...
It shows how thin American conservatism actually is today compared to Barry or Bill or Reagan fifty years ago
Sam Francis was far more right than he was wrong
When the shooting starts who’s gonna care who was a racist if they have ammo
Amen.
Ammo: stack it deep.
Plus one
Puritans established Plymouth colony in 1620, and they weren’t commies as alleged by hippies. Susan B. Anthony and her friends ushered in the beginnings of communist advocacy while following he designs of Charles Fourier (early communist model).
All of the initial settlements were tight communities by necessity and for obvious reasons (security, etc.), including Jamestown: a fort.
