They are being purposefully taught improper history.

The Pilgrims got along with the Natives.

More democratic commie attempt to destroy our nations heritage.

[V_TWIN]

Communism is all about rewriting history

They must have been watching the new Ken Burns “documentary”.

[Wallace T.]

Same nonsense from the usual suspects. What is shameful is not the usual garbage from communist sources but (1) those weak-kneed semi-conservatives like the staff at Christianity Today who try to compromise with the Left and (2) some alt-right, usually Catholic traditionalist, authors like E. Michael Jones, whose dislike of the Reformation lead them to endorse the “massacre and displacement of the natives” story line of the communists.

[Alas Babylon!]

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 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.”

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