nah i'm pretty sure the first year in America saw good relations between the pilgrims and the indians. it was the ensueing years that saw both sides raiding each other.
Fuge:
huh? what are you talking about? all we ever here about is how Columbus slaughtered Indians, which apparently, is not even true. Columbus even had a fondness for the Indians, a word he derived not from India (why would he ever call them Indians when he was heading for China but on the latitude for Japan) but from the Spanish word 'in Dios' or in (with) God. Though godless pagans, Columbus seems to have been one of the first europeans to see the Indians in a very european light of Edenistic noble savages.
what in god's name are you talking about? I hate how the god damn liberals constantly make it seem like everybody has this white man is always right attitude. no one ****ing thinks that.
it's been drilled a million and one times in our heads in school, the media, and the movie industry, that the US Cavalry slaughtered Indians left and right and forced them from their homes ever since Jackson and the Trail of Tears.
interesting but judging from the other bull**** you mentioned, i take this 'fact' with a grain of salt.

Columbus was the 1st to discover America...and we never hear anything about the depopulation of the West Indies.
Cowboys = good, Indians = evil savages

The 1st Prsident of the US was technically not George Washington... when Maryland ratified the Articles of Confederation in 1781, John Hanson signed the document for Maryland and was then elected "President of the United States in Congress Assembled" Even George Washington acknowledged him as the first president.
