Plymouth MA has people who dress up like the "pilgrims" and march through the streets with their bibles and muskets. This 1621 "Pilgrim Progress" reenacted for the tourists exemplifies settler innocence masking what really happened. #NDOM2019 #nothanksnogiving #thankstaking
The words of head pilgrim guy, William Bradford, celebrating the 1637 Pequot massacre in CT:
“Those that scraped the fire were slaine with the sword; some hewed to peeces, others rune throw with their rapiers, so as they were quickly dispatchte, and very few escapted. (cont.)
"It was conceived they thus destroyed about 400 at this time. It was a fearful sight to see them {Pequots] thus frying in the fyer, and the streams of blood quenching the same, and horrible was the stincke and sente there of, but the victory seemed a sweete sacrifice, (cont.)
"and they gave the prayers thereof to God, who had wrought so wonderfully for them, thus to inclose their enemise in their hands, and give them so speedy a victory over so proud and insulting an enimie.”
William Bradford, one of the "pilgrim forefathers" revered for generations
