The author uses the word ‘Equality’ for the E in DEI but it is actually ‘Equity’ - a very different thing. Equality implies the same opportunity for all, equity implies all outcomes should be leveled.

And the Natives needed the English. Patuxet, the Indian town that stood on what became Plymouth, was completely deserted from a plague just half a decade before the Pilgrims arrived.

The same plague wiped out much the Massachusetts and Wampanoag nations—about 2/3rd to 3/4s! Massasoit, king of the Wampanoags, was very vulnerable because the plague did not decimate the Narragansetts, who were their local rivals who became very emboldened by the Wampanoags loses.

Do these “historians” know that before the colonists came, the different tribes were often at each other’s throats taking scalps, food and slaves in raiding parties? This went on more often than not.

To the North of Plymouth, in Massachusetts bay, the local Massachusetts tribe, who were also decimated by the same plaque, were at constant war with the Tarrantines, a Micmak tribe from Southern Maine, who didn’t suffer in the plague. The Tarrantines killed the Massachusetts Sachem, and the new Sachem made an alliance with the English for protection. The English didn’t even have to make raiders of their allies behave, just the alliance was enough to stop the raids.

So, the tribes closet to Plymouth had some very important reasons to love the Pilgrims and their just in time settlement in Plymouth. It was a life or death struggle for them.

Had the English not survived, the Wampanoags and Massachusetts would have been wiped out.

The left loves to tear down American traditions: Christmas, Columbus Day, Thanksgiving, Native sports team names, or statues in the town square. They think everything wrong in the world is Americas fault

Since I’ve become an adult, Thanksgiving has been favorite holiday. If it gets these people’s knickers in a knot, I like it even more. Gives me one more thing to be thankful for.

If it wasn’t for colonists the Indians still wouldn’t have the wheel. And they would still be warring and slave taking.

First they went after Columbus Day and I said nothing because I’m not of Italian heritage.

Then they went after Thanksgiving and I said nothing because I’m not of New England heritage.

Then they went after Veterans Day and I said nothing because I didn’t serve in the military.

Then they went after Independence Day and there were few people left to defend that day.

BTW America First is kind of the same thinking. Why should people in Kansas care if Maine is attacked? Tell me when they’ve gotten to the Mississippi River.

Southside, it’s a Puritan re-enactment of Sukkot. Which, yes, is a harvest celebration, but moreso part of our Judeo-Christian heritage. Going after Thanksgiving is actually part of the agenda of the anti-semitic left.

thanks Babylon.

Pilgrims (and Puritans) had iron. Indians had furs. Thus the basis for trade for the first hundred of so years of the colonial period.

Bigger picture, white people brought horses and guns to North America, changing life completely for the Indians of the mid-west and of the plains.

With regard to the nonsense that that white people bad and red people good, whites and reds fought with and against each other during the early colonial period. Some white with some reds (e.g., the French and their Indian allies), and some other whites and some other reds (the English and their Indian allies). Stir in the Dutch in New Holland and Indian on Indian conflicts, and it all looks rather typically and tragically human.

Leftists, being the envious, humorless, degenerates they are, destroy and defile everything they touch. A world created by leftists is a joyless, violent, grief-filled one.

Thank you. I've been studying this since high school. Did I tell you my Senior year project was covering King Phillip's War of 1675? I even went to all the locations and took polaroids of the places to add to the report. The school kept them, unfortunately!

Also, here's a map:

Interesting how some of these names are still in use today.

I lived in Manomet, just north of the Sagamore bridge over the canal. Our radar site is still up on Aptuxcet hill!

Teachers want to decolonize.....you first. Get your worthless butt on a plane back to wherever your ancestors came from. You won’t be missed.

The socialist movement, i.e the universities, need to do this because it destroys their ideology.

As the late, great Rush Limbaugh said of the True Story of Thanksgiving:

“ The point is The True Story of Thanksgiving is spreading, and I couldn’t be happier about that. Bottom line: It is spreading. I’m just gonna cut to the chase here before getting into reading the text. The Real Story of Thanksgiving, going back to the very first early days of the Pilgrims arriving at Plymouth Rock, is that socialism failed.”

For those of us who really miss him:

Happy Thanksgiving to all. Enjoy our free society while we still can.

In the days of printed books it was much more difficult to rewrite history. Now all it takes is a sweep of the digital universe.
