The Colonial Settlements Had Different Viewpoints on Human Rights

Here’s a wonderfully entertaining crash-course in U.S. history that aims, appropriately enough, at the founding of the colonies in the early 17th Century.  I was intrigued that the settlements in Massachusetts and Virginia had radically different conceptions of how people were expected to treat one another, the nature of human rights, and the proper role of government in our lives. 

Happy Thanksgiving to all.
