Historians quibble with this interpretation.

Historian's can't quibble with the facts as written in "William Bradford, History of Plymouth Plantation, 1620-1647". This was written by Bradford himself, who was the Governor of Plymouth colony at the time. He relates unequivocally how the colony was set up on a socialist system and in bred anger, resentment and laziness. When converted to a capitalist system, the people were energetic and industrious and turned the colony around. How do you quibble over the clear account written by the leader of the colony?

I like how in bradford own words

“The women now wente willingly into ye field, and tooke their little-ons with them to set corne, which before would aledg weaknes, and inabilitie; whom to have compelled would have bene though great tiranie and oppression.”

I am thinking of all the millions sitting around in the projects claiming back injuries prevent them from working.

Human nature hasn’t changed one bit. But liberals never see this, they can only see the world and people for how they WANT it to be, instead of how it really is.
