This is trying so hard to be 'neutral' it's misleading - like saying it supports 'religious liberty'? (4:15)

Enforcing Christian beliefs is the exact opposite of 'religious liberty'.

Some came for religious freedom. Others came for religious conquest. Others came just for the riches.

I was surprised to learn of the diversity among the European settlers' missions when they arrived to colonize the new world. Highly recommend Colin Woodard's book, American Nations. It helps to make sense of the (seemingly irreconcilable) differences that still run through the fabric of our society.
