“Failure to agree with your revisionist history”
You must some kind of ignorant person. Rush Limbaugh talked at length about the history of immigration a few weeks ago, using stats and historical facts. His conclusion: the “we are a nation of immigrants” is liberal revisionism of our history. Or, you can get off your ass and do your own search.
And, by the way, your repeated assertion,”we are a nation of immigrants” is not proof that we are a nation of immigrants.
Our nation started off as a nation in 1776 when a group of British colonies coalesced as one nation. They descended from British pioneers that had migrated to North American over a hundred years prior. Had a highly developed civilization. Historians say that there was not a single capital crime committed in the colony of Massachusetts from 1650 to 1750.
blah blah blah
English, Irish, Italian, Polish, German, Greek, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese all immigrated here in large numbers from 1620 through the 1930s.
Everyone here with the exception of Native Americans are the descendants of immigrants.

Good times back then:
Penalty for Keeping Christmas, 1659:
http://www.mass.gov/courts/docs/lawlib/docs/christmas1659.pdf
For preventing disorders arising in several places within this jurisdiction, by reason of some still observing such festivals as were superstitiously kept in other countries, to the great dishonor of God and offence of others, it is therefore ordered by this Court and the authority thereof, that whosoever shall be found observing any such day as Christmas or the like, either by forbearing of labor, feasting, or any other way, upon such accounts as aforesaid, every such person so offending shall pay for every such offence five shillings, as a fine to the country.
“And, by the way, your repeated assertion,â€we are a nation of immigrants†is not proof that we are a nation of immigrants.”
Exactly!
I was reminded of a particularly good article by Lawrence Auster , ‘Are We Really a Nation of Immigrants? ‘ from FrontPageMagazine.com in 2006. Keep in mind this fact.
“Fifty-six men from each of the original 13 colonies signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. Nine of the signers were immigrants, two were brothers and two were cousins. One was an orphan.”

Maybe I'm missing some intended humor.
Are you claiming they executed people for non-capital crimes?
