Didn't Bradford do that to stop one family from setting such a high value on Indian goods that everyone else in the community could no longer trade? In that it was a reaction to the family that was given much of the fertile land. The whole basing who you were by your family and their ability to profess better born again stories for the community. That was the initial fail that the colony had to overcome. -- Stephen Russell 901.246-0159 cell _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/CAJidMYJE1rpUwMf8vv=sn0gqk5lmtvaduhocgm-qy+xzpdg...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
