Why the United States was founded.

[Sethrigal]

Dude, I dont care what you read, the MAIN REASON this country was founded was to escape religious persectution, yes, taxation without representation was a part of it, but not as much a part as religious freedom. look it up.

People were being tortured, and having their family members raped over religious beliefs. it was one of the main contributing factors to the formation of this country.

And now racial profiling and religious profiling are amoung the worst problems in this country, slightly ironic when you think about it. Answer this question, if you got on an airplane, and three men walked on and sat in front of you, wearing clothes that would be categorized as "islamic" and they had beards, and headcoverings, would you feel worried?

the country was founded when the pilgrims came here, the pilgrims came here to escape religious persecution, case in point, the country was formed to escape religious persecution.

What we did to the Native Americans was more less we wanted their land.
