[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1685364, member: 25884"] The pilgrims did not come here for greed or dishonesty.... they came to get away from the persecution they were experiencing. They had rigid views of their own, and were unfair to others that disagreed with them or they thought were different... "witches being burned in Salem".... There were slaves and such back with the original native americans.... slaves in any country that conquerors came in and overtook the existing populations....I can not say what it was like to be a slave, but I cannot go back and change the past.... I can only try to make it better from here forward.... and it has to be done at the grass roots level.....and I will not erase the past to fit a whitewashed narrative because people did what they truly believed in at their particular time and place.... Right or wrong in the eyes of others. I had relatives that were in the Salem area.... and a few were probably among those that were persecuted....some of my family came across on the Mayflower and ensuing voyages shortly there after.... founding settlers in Conn....
