Yep. That’s just about the size of it too.

Actually, it would have been nicer had they discussed the Pilgrim’s experiment with communism and how that failed so miserably that they went back to the tried and true: Self-determination and free enterprise.

Indeed. The reason the pilgrims celebrated Thanksgiving is that they were so thankful they had given up their socialist experiment.

Heheheheh. There’s a little more to it than that. Those early Pilgrims were such stiff-necked, repressed, religious fanatics that they insisted in wearing layers of hot linen and wool in the summer climate, and not listening to the Indians who warned them of what not to touch and what not to eat, so the men in perticular died in greater numbers than the women. The Indians felt sorry for the surviving women, and were hoping to win a few as wives, so they brought their native foods to the Pilgrims’ otherwise-pitiful Harvest Home festival. According to the Indians (whom none of the school-acceptable historians seem to have asked), a lot of those women *did* run off with the Indians, too.
