The Puritans didn't rape native women or steal anybody's land, that is liberal propaganda designed to make people hate their own country. That jibberish they hand out in American history nowadays is full of half truths and out right lies, it's sickening. Puritans lived peacefully with the native people, in fact they survived the first winter with the natives help. Plus, several early colonial governments modled themselves on the Algonquin modle. The abuse started when the British took over colonial matters directly.

In other words, big government showed up and ruined everything, thus the revolution. "Give me liberty or give me death," they didn't say that, just to sound cool.

Yes, the colonials had problems, but they weren't freaked out, money grubbing, KKK relgious fanatics, out to kill every Native and enslave all of Africa. Most of the early settlers were trying to start over in a new land, AWAY from that sort of thing. The British Government began establishing thier own claim once money started comeing in, and that's where things started to go to hell. After all, Spain was getting rich off the America's..Britain and France wanted in on some of that "action" too.

It wasn't the colonials that were the monsters here, it was the European superpowers that were.
