"Thus it please God to Vanquish their enemies, and give them deliverance..."


"All this while the Indians came skulking about them"



Summary: In this quote Bradford state that they are superior therefore God protected them.


While reading Bradford, what I noticed is that they never once gave thanks to the fact that the Natives saved their lives. They were not grateful once. They only give thanks to God, and this further reinforces their belief that they are superior than others and they are the chosen people.

I always knew that Thanks Giving was a hoax, but I never really had a chance to sit down and read how mistreated the Native Americans were.
The arrogance of the Whites to come to a country, that did belong to other people and claim it as their own is so very depressing and they too it over at times, very militantly

They were not humble in their invasion but believed that it was the Will of God. This is the good example of using religion to feel superior.

If God was a truly a loving God and loved all his children as it states in the Bible, why when two Football teams are praying for a win would he grant one team to win over the other.
