I bet you are also thankful you didn't live during the Battle of Washita River to see the cavalry mowing down your wife and children under the hoofs of their horses.
Anyway, we can mosey all the way through time of the early history of this nation and point to different occurrences, like the Puritans hanging Quakers in Boston because they refused to conform.
Yet we don't celebrate (not that I know of ) any holiday that was started during a meal with Quakers, who years later ended up swinging from a rope in Boston.
