David Yeagley....hmmm....we used to see a lot more on him around here.

I don't know how many Indians the Aztecs killed a year but they were killing a lot. The Spaniards wrote how the pyramids of Tenochtitlan were bright red with blood flowing down them ---- there's a box of children's skulls next to the pyramid in Cholula.

The Spaniards were greeted and welcomed by the non-Aztec tribes who saw Spanish as capable of whipping the Aztecs who they dreaded. The Spaniards got plenty of help from the Indians ---- and many of the Indians converted to the Christian God who they liked better than the blood-thirsty god the Aztecs were worshipping. The Aztecs resisted conversion --- but many others didn't.

What the hell were they the suppliers for Muslim heaven... I knew they were in cahoots

It does seem like the Aztecs might have been worshipping allah ---- there sure is a lot in common.

This nation began in 1776, true, but the Revolution began before that...you have to include Lexington and Concord in the American Revolution, and probably the Boston Tea Party...and why not the resistance to the Stamp Act in 1765? John Adams said of James Otis' speech against the use of writs of assistance that then and there the child independence was born.

Maybe 1607 (first permanent English settlement) or 1619 (first representative body created) would be a good starting point. The story of establishing the English colonies that later became the 13 original states is part of the American epic. The reason the Founding Fathers were able to create a free federal republic that worked was because they were heirs to generations of self-government and had practical experience. Contrast that with Latin America where they had no experience in self-government before independence.

"It inhibits any Indian person, particularly any American Indian person, from starting out in life with a positive attitude. It puts you on the negative; it is the 'I have been wronged approach to life' even as you are born," Yeagley said.

The two hemispheres were going to meet at some point --- someone was going to start crossing the Atlantic Ocean --- if the Indians had been united, they probably could have defeated the Europeans but they didn't know to defend their borders, they didn't even have borders so they let in a bunch of people who would over-power them at some point.
