It’s was righteous Pilgrims and the venture capitalist Virginia Company who blessed the natives with their superior European being that was so wonderful.

They also didn’t teach that the Spaniards had been in St. Augustine for 55 years already. The mass die-off was a result of germs they and French trappers to the North brought with them.

Plymouth Rock failed miserably and Jamestown barely survived starvation….oh and there was some homosexuality there too.
