Like you, I have deep U.S. ancestry, with a swatch of Indigenous which got swirled in in those crazy early Jamestown years. I look for the good (such as your Quaker grandparents.) I accept the not-good (my many enslaving Virginian forebears.) Heaven knows I have no interest in whitewashing it. Good thoughts.

It's good to look at the truth of history, what really happened instead of the myths we were taught. In the past 15 years I've learned more true history than I ever learned in school. I learned myth shattering things about my local and state history. So many people are afraid of the truth. I learned the truth because I went looking for it.
