It does annoy me how these New Englanders ignore the existence of the REAL first colony

St. Augustine?

You are right! Jamestowne was the first English colony, but St. Augustine predates that by about 100 years, I think. As I remember Jamestowne history, the early settlers feared not only the Indians, but also a nearby Spanish settlement which has since faded into history.
