Constantine claimed to be Christian so he could take over the Roman Empire. The Christian beliefs he claimed to have were more lip service than an actual belief.
As for the Vikings, they should be covered, as the rest of the Europeans who came to the Western Hemisphere.
And the Native Americans side should be told as well. Like the guy who helped the Pilgrims grow food. Why did he live with them ? He had been enslaved and taken to England. After several years in England, he finally convinced his slave masters to let him go home. When he got there, his people were gone. They died off from European diseases. In order for him to survive, he had to live with the Pilgrims. A group of people who were living in an empty of people area, his former home. So, that is why he knew so much about the area.
And let us not forget the colonials, in the first winters, stole food from the fields planted by the Native Americans. They didn't trade, nor pay, for it, they stole it.
Who am I ?
I'm Comanche, Cherokee, Scot-Irish, Norman, Viking, Netherlands, German, Swiss, Texan, American. You can call me Jim.
An the Texas School Board is not known for thinking. Even by other Texans.
