I thought the founders of Jamestown went back to England? I had no idea it lasted that long.

Amusing, but the question still stands... should we tolerate what this country was founded on?
Sure. Now let's spend ten pages arguing over what that is.

The first colonies were dudes and a few dudettes in severely austere environments, trying to make some money.

Seems like a good place to start a foundation.

First, you must work.
So you are saying it's Ok to berate people who say that it's not ok to welcome other cultures that want to subdue what made America great in the first place with the type of culture that they were trying to escape from in the first place?

Right... ok...

Good summary. Historians think the "promptly got to work" part is why they succeeded and the lazy goats at Jamestown failed.
Jamestown didn't completely fail. It lasted more than a century until folks moved away to the big city.

I'd like to see a comparison of hostilities faced from natives of each group.
It didn't fail, but it was a really rocky start. Like, reported Donner Pass level first winters. The first few resupply convoys brought like a collective total of four girls and a lot of unskilled people (not general unspecified jack of all trade types, literally 'boys' without any practical ability). Then they got smart and brought people you might need for a city, like actually talented farmers, blacksmiths, etc.

On the ancestry game, I'll match the Mayflower compact signatory and Quakers, and raise to another family on the Mayflower, and a governor of the Republic of Texas so awesome he didn't even have to be at San Jacinto to get credit for it.

I'd have to ask the grandfather for the specifics; after he retired from the Army he spent much time researching everything he could think of. Also, there was a private Richard Henry Lee in the Revolution that he confounded for a while with the more well known person by that name.
