Since I'm Scottish and my ancestors were deported in prison ships after the battle of Dunbar (we lost, by the way), I can honestly say that I'm grateful to be an American and I'm grateful that there were Vikings and other intrepid explorers like Columbus that allowed my ancestors to settle here, even if it was against their will. There's a bit of MicMac in my Scottish ancestors so I suggest, since many of us came here from somewhere else, that rather than try to change history, we grant the real people of this country their own honorable and well deserved day. Humans are humans. We all came here from someplace else, even the indigenous people across the land bridge from Siberia.
