When
the first European settlers reached the shores of America, they saw
before them a great land and a great promise. They knew it would not
be won without a struggle, but they were a determined people. In the
years ahead, they founded a new nation and a new dream, the likes of
which the world had never seen. It was called the United States of
America.
Yet
to these same shores the first pioneers unwittingly brought the seeds
of their own future destruction. Lacking in number and without even
the rudimentary technology of the European homelands they had
forsaken, they chose instead to uproot a primitive people from a
savage land and bring them here to help work their fields and farms.
This
was to be the gravest error the founders of America ever made, though
they would never live to know this. It is we, their descendants, who
must now bear the haunting consequences of that long ago mistake.
Now
our nation stands at the dawn of the 21st century, amid
the crumbling decay of our once great cities. We have lost our dream
and our way, as we are steadily overwhelmed by those who would see
our European legacy vanish without a trace.
If
there is left within you a longing to be proud of your European
heritage, your nation, and your future, can you yet stand by and see
your country destroyed from within?
