Well I'm not American, but happy thanks giving.
But it's not realy true that thanks giving in a celebration of killing the native indians is it?
I mean, I was told by others it was inf act celebrating how the natives actually helped them with supplies, and helped them colonise america?

That's the story that developed over time as white Americans wanted to whitewash their true history. Thanksgiving is not actually about celebrating the massacre of Native Americans; that's just post-modern humour combined with national guilt.

Ok, sorry, I'm confused alot by american history, expecially with their happyness with seperating and indepanding from the English, I mean, weren't they English who just moved?

A couple of centuries can make a big difference to a cultural identity.

and seriously, you want to know what would have happened if the America wasn't independant, but was part of the commenwealth, and a coloney of England?
Look at Canada, and they haven't done too badly.

Probably true, but the British were being dicks to the Americans at the time.
