Revisiting Squanto

I won't rehash what I wrote last year. What am I thankful for? My wonderful family and friends. Good health. A great country and the God that made this nation possible. I thankful for all the people past and present that makes this nation great. Squanto was such as man.

The more I read about this man, the more I noticed a parallel with another great American, Fredrick Douglass. They lives, while separated by over 200 years, went down similar paths. Both were sold into slavery, and both were instrumental in our nations history. It was Douglass who had interaction with Lincoln led to the end of slavery. It was Squanto who came over with John Smith after being taken captive. In a nutshell, did anyone ever wonder how a people from England could communicate with an indigenous people? I addressed than in the previous article. What make me upset is where rich history like this is being ignored. People really miss the real story behind a great men and women in US history. It's up to me and people who agree with this article's premise to bring this history to life.

This was the post I did last year.

I hope you enjoyed this little review of a prior post. Have a blessed and wonderful Thanksgiving!!!! Mine will be spend with my parents and extended family members. Football isn't the only reason to enjoy Thanksgiving but a very small reason. Give thanks for life, loved ones, friends, and being able to live in the greatest country in the world. Yes, I said this earlier but it's worth mentioning again.


PS-
New England over Detroit (no more than 10)
New Orleans over Dallas (no less than 14; if you eat late, this is the game you might be able to take a nice nap).
