Not sure this is totally true -- Cape Ann and Salem, Mass., and Maine, for example, were settled by a bunch of people wanting to fish in peace until the Massachusetts Puritan fundies arrived in 1630 and immediately took over Salem (and annexed Maine a bit later). Both the Popham Colony and the Jamestown Colony were founded in 1607, before the Mayflower Separatists of 1620. And what about St. Augustine, Florida? (And if by "America" you mean more than the USA, then we have a whole new ballgame.) And there *does* seem to be a lot of evidence that even the USA was colonized by numerous cultures through the millenia, if you believe Barry Fell at all :-) But still and all, I agree with your understanding of the "right-wing nuttiness" of the fundy Puritans, for sure :-) To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
