The 'Invasion' of Jamestown

Gary DeMar / American Vision:
One of the debates surrounding the “celebration” of the 400th anniversary of the Jamestown colony is that the English “invaded” the land of a native people. It’s true; it was an invasion, an invasion of a superior worldview even if the people who did the invading weren’t always morally superior. Can you imagine what the world would be like if the invasion was the other way around? Native cultures knew nothing of progress. They believed in the circularity of life and a world controlled by unpredictable forces.
