2. The Iroquois Confederacy

Edited on Thu Nov-25-04 11:49 AM by Malva Zebrina

was much admired by Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and Sam Adams et al.

An argument could be made that this "democracy" of the five nations, was influential in the writing of the Consitution.

Keep in mind these native Americans were not Christians and they were here first after all.
