My purpose for mentioning all that is for many reasons................but 1st this................the role of the Native Americans.............and the overwhelming tendency in the history books to our entire society of hiding the truth...........namely the harm done to the Indians.............the massacres.........and the sheer number of massacres...............and each massacre involving 100s, and sometimes thousands of Indians...........and many were kids......................

Moreover, the effort to discount the contributions of the Native Americans................and the same has been done to the blacks........and to the orientals............and those from Central Asia........basically, anything not white....................



It was from France that Tom Jefferson..........as our 3rd pres.............more than doubled the USA.....via he LA purchase..........i bet Ben Franklin had been negotiating that since 1776........when he was the 1st ambassador to France...............

Also, the kingdom of Sweden had a stake here..............there are many cities in the South with Spanish names.............many people think it was b/c of Mexico...........primarily b/c of the 1840s Mexican - American war.................no, it was Spain................St. Augustine, Florida was 1st.........there is a Madrid, Tn i think.........Penscaloa, Fl..............all b/c of Spain.........New Orleans......is named after Orleans............a city in France....................











After Columbus' discovery of the Caribbean in 1492.......................Western Europeans fell upon what is now the USA.............and indeed the entire Western hemisphere with a reckless abandon..........1st came the Spaniards, then the French...........then the Dutch........the British were relatively late comers....................this lost colony was set up by English explorer Sir Walter Raleigh.........there is a boat that used to dock in Old Town Alex, Va named after him..........i am talking in the 1980s.............
