The Frankish Reich Posted November 24, 2021 Posted November 24, 2021 Every year on Thanksgiving Eve, the Wall Street Journal runs these two pieces on its editorial page. The first is an account of William Bradford, c. 1620. The second is a somewhat dated (1961), but still relevant account of the great American Experiment over the following three and a half centuries. https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-desolate-wilderness-william-bradford-nathaniel-morton-plymouth-pilgrims-11637708909?st=10o4js3bnd9mskt&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink https://www.wsj.com/articles/and-the-fair-land-11637710823?st=d16cf7ppvfviq07&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink I have made it a habit over the last several years to read both every year, and to marvel at the wonders of my country, faults and all. This is a time to set aside differences of political opinion and to be thankful for what we have accomplished and to be confident of what is to come. In other words, you won't hear an ill word from me until Monday at the earliest (whining about the Bills' performance excepted). Happy Thanksgiving, all! 3 1
