What lostlahiker looks obvioulsy like a cut and paste job. Instaed of swearing at him/her and calling him/her names why not ask what the source is, as I’m 100% sure it’s not his/hers

I gave the source, in the post. Empires of Trust, by Thomas Madden. It’s not cut and paste…it’s my own synopsis of what Madden wrote, together with a commentary linking the situation then with the situation today. Start on page 268 and read on for about ten pages if you care to check.

All the statements of fact come from that source. I tried to be faithful to that source material in describing the motives and thinking of the players.

It’s an unfortunate chapter in the history of a great people. I cannot think of better people, but no people have lived so purely as to never, ever get anything wrong.
