[QUOTE="Luca Brasi, post: 1227267, member: 23282"] The Pilgrims were good to the Indians, especially those first few winters when the Pilgrims would have died without the Indians' assistance. Once the Indians smartened up and realized that the Pilgrims were here to take their land and resources, they of course became resentful. The Pilgrims' response was to start treating them savagely, and we haven't stopped since. Once the Pilgrims knew where the Indians grain stores were, they didn't need to rely on gifts and generosity to help get them through the lean times. They just started taking what they wanted, and doling out severe punishment when the Indians protested or defended their property. Nice way to repay the kindness of the "heathens". And the Pilgrims had the nerve to consider their so-called christian ideology as superior. [i]Mayflower[/i] by Nathaniel Philbrick is a good unbiased book on the real relationship between the Pilgrims and the natives. [/QUOTE]
