Yes, the Iroquois confederation was a good model for our government. That's the same Iroquois confederation that sold Willie Penn the land for Pennsylvania..... right out from under the tribes that lived on that land.

Why do you think we dressed up like "Indians" at the Tea Party? To scare the British? No, because Native American motifs were a symbol of the freedom we aspired to.
Oh, give me a break. They dressed as indians because reprisals on Bostonians was likely, since they controlled them... and reprisals on Indians impossible, for the British.

I doubt the settlers knew what motifs of the Indians were, except the ones in their blankets.

Is that fact, or your opinion? I thought they dressed up as Indians to to show that Indians supported the colonist's cause against taxation.

The Indians didn't give a shit about taxation, they weren't taxed. They lived apart and only traded with the colonists.

I thought that they dressed as Indians because it was Thanksgiving.
