I'll be damned - There really was a Bowling Green Massacre

[packman]

New Amsterdam 1660


The Bowling Green massacre did happen — in 1643, white settlers slaughtered 110 natives

"Back then, New York City was known as New Amsterdam and was a struggling colonial outpost under Dutch rule. As Theresa Braine of Indian Country Today recounted, the then-governor of New Netherlands, Willem Kieft, sent groups of European soldiers to an area at the tip of Manhattan island, which was then home to Lenape tribe. The soldiers killed 80 members of the tribe in what is now Pavonia, New Jersey, and massacred another 30 in Manhattan"

8. So immigrants did come into this country and kill Americans.

We should start commemorating that.

was meant to keep the natives out. The irony.
