The Pilgrims were SETTLERS and CONQUERERS, not IMMIGRANTS

What else would call them, Einstein?

Drake, and Raleigh, and Columbus, and Cabot, and Pizzarro, and De Soto, et. al., were sent to the Western Hemisphere in order to find navigable sea routes, expedite trade with the far East, and subsequently, to trade with, and conquer while establishing permanent footholds in the Americas.

William Bradford & Co.-along with John Winthrop and subsequent settlers-came here because they wanted to establish a colony free from the constraints of the Church of England.

They didn't arrive on these shores with the expectation of creating a "Little England."

They didn't say, well gee, now that we've risked life and limb in order to escape our homeland let's re-establish that theocratic, Anglican craphole that we just fled.

That's the difference between the marchers and rioters yesterday and our antecedents.
