![]() ![]() Nor are students the only people misled by “settle.” One recent Thanksgiving weekend, I listened as a guide at the Statue of Liberty told about European immigrants “populating a wild East Coast.” As we shall see, however, if Indians had not already settled New England, Europeans would have had a much tougher job of it. Part of the problem is the word “settle.” “Settlers” were white. I had hoped that students would suggest 30,000 BC, or some other pre-Columbian date. ![]() Surely “we now know as” implies that the original settlement happened before the United States. That is a generous way of putting the question. ![]() Over the last few years, I have asked hundreds of college students, “When was the country we now know as the United States first settled?” This version appeared earlier in the Radical Historians Newsletter.

Someone wanted her to stay away from her new friends, but she wasn’t willing to do that. She was even less prepared for the mysterious Miro and Silas, and nothing could have prepared her for the bond. She survived working at the club and the drive to school every day in her mother’s rust-bucket of a car… but it all changed when Noah and Cabe came bulldozing into her life, careless of the precious secrets they picked apart in their quest to take over her world. She could last days without eating and she always walked away from the violent altercations with her father relatively unharmed. ![]() Seraph Black used to think that she was prepared for anything.
