Hi List, Not to extend the talk, but ; a few years ago I was watching Allistair Cooke's America series & he said that when the colonists landed in two different locations; that was the beginning of the American Civil War , due to two different opinions on a lot of things as well as religious beliefs. The two locations were Virginia & Massachusetts. I found this to be very interesting. Watch for it on the History Channel.
