Like Two-Headed Dragons, the United States and Canada conceal their own histories of ethnic cleansing and genocide, posturing for the world
HOUSTON -- An article of 1-18-05 entitled, "When French Settlers Were the Victims of Ethnic Cleansing in North America", by John Mack Farager tells how “…colonial officials systematically rounded up approximately seven thousand French-speaking Catholic Acadians.”
Some were deported to France, others were deported to what is now Louisiana “…and became the ancestors of today’s Cajuns. Mr. Faragher is Arthur Unobskey Professor of American History at Yale University. His article begins, “In December of 2003 the Canadian government announced that Governor- General Adrianne Clarkson, the Queen’s representative in Canada, had signed a Royal Proclamation acknowledging responsibility for 'the decision to deport the Acadian people' from the British province of Nova Scotia in 1755, and regretting the 'tragic consequences.'”
It would be nice if Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, Prince Philip would announce a Royal Proclamation acknowledging the laws of ethnic cleansing in Jamestown, Virginia when they visit to help commemorate the founding of Jamestown 400 years ago.
One law said, “It is enacted that if any Englishman be murdered, the next town of Indians shall be answerable for it with their lives or liberties.” Losing their liberties meant that the parents would be deported or killed and the children enslaved. The children, it said, would one day be free on reaching the age of 24:“…or they be Twenty four Years Old, when he, she, they, or any of them, the said Indians so bound, is to be and are hereby Declared Free,Provided always that if any of the said Indians, after they are Free, do presume to Settle or Inhabit in any Indian Town, such Indian or Indians so settling or Inhabiting shall be Lyable to Transportation and shall be Transported beyond Sea to England or Some of the Iselands and there bound or Sold for Seven Years.…” PLEASE CONTINUE http://bsnorrell.blogspot.com/2007/05/ethnic-cleansing-at-jamestown-americas_13.html
