The History of Thanksgiving part 1

As we near thanksgiving most of us try to figure out where we are going to go and plan out a schedule to see family. It is important that we look back on the reason for the holiday and remember that while we are looking forward to this big meal and football games that the pilgrims were celebrating having food to eat, and giving thanks to the Indians that helped them make it thru their first winter in this new land they now call home.

[youngfase5]

gee i don't know maybe i'd talk about the murdering of the american indians which was only part of the biggest genocide in history

[wdchr]

I think you left out the mass murder part of the story. Dont worry, it was probably an "honest" mistake.

..and (last point) whites were also slaves in the south too. While they were not victims of the racism perpetrated by Vallidolid Catholicism popularized in southern slave-port cities by Jesuit slave-traders, they were victimized by residual European classism. Georgia (a southern state) was the first state in America to outlaw slavery, though the laws were later over-turned by wealthy landowners from the north (Virginia) sponsored by the (Thomas) Jeffersonians. These are the facts not discussed

[XmassIsALie]

Slavery was practiced by Africa where it was imported to Europe (and where it is still practiced to this day uninterrupted in Muslim countries) and while American Protestants compromised with this inexcusable practice the US is the only country on earth to have gone to the extreme of having a Civil war which killed off half it's own people to rid itself of the practice. No such thing can be said of Africa or Asia (where the practices continue to this day) or Latin-America.

Christopher Columbus and the Conquistadors were of a wholly different character than the Plymouth Pilgrims and it is a historical inaccuracy to confuse these two very different groups. The Conquistadors were not "white men" they were Latino & Hispanic.
