     Excerpts of how the history text book should read:

... and so the locals decided since the 'visitors' were not going to leave; they would call a truce and have dinner with the visitors. After all they came in large canoes and maybe we can learn something from them.  The pale skinned visitors accept the local's invitation with its terms. After dinner (some time in November) the visitors gather the locals and tell them there are only certain places you folks are allowed to go. The visitors then decide they will call this new land America.
