Great post, Kelly. Another historical fact that Kamala ignored or is ignorant about is that most Indian tribes allied with the French against the English in the French and Indian War and that Indian warriors brutally attacked, killed and enslaved (children and women) many English settlers on the frontier.

Couldn't agree more. Though I must point out that Jamestown was not the first settlement in the lower 48: that honor goes to St. Augustine in 1565.

I probably should have said "English" settlement.
