One of the chief reasons the Pilgrims didn’t starve is because the Indian Squanto took pity on them as fellow Christians and showed them how to survive. That was an act of pure altruism, something the free market doesn’t recognize and ultimately tries to beat out of us. Yes, Squanto was a Christian — Catholic, in fact, having been baptized by Spanish friars. Pilgrims didn’t bring the Gospel to “indian savages”; Catholic missionaries did. If the fine Calvinist pilgrims had known Squanto was Catholic, he’d have been lucky to have escaped with his life. And yes, the pilgrims would probably have starved and there’d be no football tomorrow.
