    You know what's weird was when the settlers first came to Jamestown, they spread rumours among themselves that the natives dug grades an ate people from the grave. Yet when the settlers starved, they ended up digging through graves and eating people

      Some Indian tribes practised cannabalism, also the pilgrims (the first Americans essentially) only would have eaten the dead as a very last resort, they were civilised and would have been horrified, assuming that happened. there was no great conflict between pilgrims and indians , they lived largely at peace

      That’s something people of that day didn’t get to choose. As an American we have a right to speak freely and worship freely. We don’t have too make our own food, we have stores with food. We don’t have to worry about having clean water, that’s just something we have. And it’s very important that America stays that way! If you read this, I just want to say, Have a blessed day in our great country.

    It's so hard following American history versus that of other countries, the way we talk about the past always has to include some providential message about risk-taking and being underdogs. Feels more like myth-making than any truly academic and educated look at our past. Colonial Viriginia was as much an ugly brutal place full of spoiled greedy plutocrats and their workers both indentured and enslaved having to compete at the bottom... Better to talk about that so we can comprehend our present and how some things haven't changed...

      - escaping that seal that if you were not an aristocrat you could not rise. (in summary of that point: basically if you weren't already born into royalty you had no chance to become someone particular)
      in its entirety, the three reasons were basically for liberty.

It is not complte, and isn't meant to be. you have to eat the elephant (of accurate history) one bite at a time, and can only digest so much at once.

    There were no women on the 1st voyage to Jamestown. Men and boys as young as 12. They did not go to Jamestown for religious freedom. That would be 1620 at Plymouth Plantation. 13 years after the founding of Jamestown.
