Your defense of the Spaniards is sad, "they were broke... and the riches they found here saved their asses." You do know they completely obliterated 2 civilizations don't you? The Mayan and the Incan. You need to go back to school.Dave Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10429379083970699093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3537843474894274857.post-11375001879592816992021-11-26T13:20:48.474-05:002021-11-26T13:20:48.474-05:00Sell it tootes!!!!!

Countries are still doing it today. Is it right? Probably not, but neither is expecting an apology 100 years later.Bathwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08992873498618424363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3537843474894274857.post-78133424936724677582021-11-26T11:07:55.336-05:002021-11-26T11:07:55.336-05:00Ohh that sounds like a nice Thanksgiving!

The xtianits separatists running from England did not have the money necessary to finance the ship, the crew and provisions for a year. That is a fact. They needed investors, like most everybody who came to America back then. And those investors wanted their money back with interest. It's the seed of capitalism, instilled in the fabric of this country by the first Europeans who settled here. I'd link an article that talks about it, but I hate the New American. It's googable, though. Robert did not make that fact about the Mayflower up. <br />The Spaniards packed ships and came here 'cause Spain was broke after warring with everybody in Europe and the riches they found here saved their asses and converted Spain in a world power. There's a nice mythology built around 'coming to America', but as with any act of colonialism, greed was the main ingredient. <br /><br />XOXO<br /><br /><br />Sixpence Notthewiserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11230453585589265578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3537843474894274857.post-4980116991296123622021-11-26T10:02:24.589-05:002021-11-26T10:02:24.589-05:00I wouldn't say vile, but up until very recentl...I wouldn't say vile, but up until very recently, this was considered normal behavior.Dave Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10429379083970699093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3537843474894274857.post-71166403891184261252021-11-26T09:13:20.518-05:002021-11-26T09:13:20.518-05:00In short: people are vile creatures.In short: people are vile creatures.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15302478126147924237noreply@blogger.com
