John Deering for November 24, 2021

The Native Americans brought the food and the Europeans brought the diseases.

The natives had a culture that promoted sharing (see also “potlatch”, which was more north western). The Pilgrims were uptight self centered (thought they thought of it as being righteous) and in WAY over their heads.

If the Native Americans knew what was in store for them, they would have let the whites starve themselves off the continent.

True thing, that. The second ship had to turn back, and bad weather kept the Mayflower at sea longer than planned. And who would be fool enough to send another (small) ship across the North Atlantic in winter?

Not Pilgrims. They were pretty hapless.

nice art

Finally a creative cartoon!

The Pilgrims probably thought God was going to provide like the manna given to the Hebrews on their 40 year wanderings (according to the Old Testament). A bunch of city slickers with absolutely zero knowledge of what they were heading into.

Ugh, maybe so, ugh.

One of the biggest mistakes ever made
