The Mayflower

[macwilkin]

LIke I said, the English settlers here didn't believe that any one else matters.

And again, the English were not alone in this attitude. The French, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese all practiced colonial mercantilism to exclude other nations from creating empires, not to mention their relations with the native peoples.

It's easy to blame the English, but it really doesn't take into account the whole of the colonial period in North American history. It also smacks of "anti-English" bashing.
