Native American tribes are gathering in Plymouth to mourn on Thanksgiving This is selective cherrypicking, historical revisionism. The Christian founders most responsible for creating democracy and religious freedom actively pursued peaceful, fair relations with the Native Americans per William Penn and Roger Williams. Williams was unfairly treated by Native Americans (the same Wampanoag mentioned in this article, as well as the Narragansetts) he had housed and peacefully coexisted with for decades when they burned his house and other buildings. As Williams put it at the time, "This house of mine now burning … hath lodged kindly some thousands of you these ten years.”
