Would they have came here if the pilgrims didn't first?
Like, not just "would they have wanted to" but would the Native population have repopulated the shoreline by then and repelled any settlers like they did the vikings?
The pilgrims were successful at gaining a foothold because they showed up in a place and time the local population had mostly just died off from sickness and the survivors initially helped the pilgrims.
50 years later, even 20 or 10 years later and it would be a different story.
The Pilgrims didn't come here first (of the Europeans). They were beaten by multiple different European groups.
I don't know. Why don't you ask the French traders that came before or the Spanish pushing upwards from the entire continent they had control over?
Not relevant to your argument. Also I am fairly confident you are mixing up the Pilgrims and the Purtains. But hey facts don't matter anymore so believe whatever you want.
When you make comments like that, people stop trying to help you...
Although I've noticed a trend where people like you assume they "win" when the other person gives up helping you. Just a heads up that's not what it means.
Oh that is what you call it. "Helping". Cute.
