The English divide and conquer plan for America was written in 1578, twenty nine years before the founding of Jamestown in 1607. This was also long before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth in 1620 and survived the winter with the help of Chief Massasoit and the Wampanoag Indians. Chief Massasoit had a son named, Metacom whose death best illustrates the guile behind the first Thanksgiving and the one celebrated 55 years later on Thursday, August 17, 1676. This is the one where Metacom’s head was brought to the Plymouth Colony entrance and displayed on a pole for over twenty years.
