Personally I think the Pilgrims get too much attention.

It’s Ok to mention but there is a lot of misinformation about the MA settlement. Including that thanksgiving was common all the way through our early history, but there was no official or traditional capitalized annual “TG” due to Pilgrims until Lincoln declared it so.

I’d like more people to realize the first permanent English settlement in NA was in Virginia.
