And why do you think it matters one damn bit who ORIGINALLY settled here?
Go read the original poster’s comments. I was specifically referring to, and replying to them. Look, I don’t mean to sound curt or anything.
He said, “I thank God everyday this country was settled by Englishmen and not the French and Spanish.” But a fair portion of it was indeed settled by both the French and the Spanish. Facts are terribly sturdy things. Neither he, nor you, need react this way to a simple, calm, matter-of-fact statement. I certainly wasn’t trying to take the wind out of his sails. Just clarifying. Take it easy.
