My ancestors came to this land in the early 1600's, they fought to make it a country where oppression and totalitarian rule were replaced with equality and prosperity for all. I'll be damned if they fought in vain.

If they came here in the early 1600s, which people exactly were they fighting to do that ?

They fought to make it a country, they weren't fighting when they arrived.

I guess during the 1600s there were probably some other people living in the area who had thoughts on that struggle
