Ok i all know that you have no idea hat you are talking about :P so i will tell you how it happened. The king of England ( or whatever ) kicked Columbus out and made him sail of the Earth, but Aliens turned it into a shpere. And then he landed and had a lot of food because he was hungry. Indians came up and thought that they were gods because of all the food and they joined in eating. So thats how it happend all. :D

I thought the Indians thanked the Pilgrims...
but nonetheless, about a few decades later, the English, French, and Spanish came into the Americas, slaughtered everyone, and took the land that wasn't theirs in the first place

For some reason, part of the movie "Addams Family Values" popped into my head right there...

[As an Indian, ad-libbing during a Thanksgiving play.]
Wednesday: Wait, we can not break bread with you. You have taken the land which is rightfully ours. Years from now my people will be forced to live in mobile homes on reservations. Your people will wear cardigans, and drink highballs. We will sell our bracelets by the road sides, and you will play golf, and eat hot h'ors d'ourves. My people will have pain and degradation. Your people will have stick shifts. The gods of my tribe have spoken. They said do not trust the pilgrims, especially Sarah Miller. And for all of these reasons I have decided to scalp you and burn your village to the ground.
