You argued that it's settled pop history myth.

The government stated in U.S. Senate Concurrent Resolution 331, passed in 1988: This non-binding resolution officially acknowledged the historical debt of the United States Constitution to the Iroquois Confederacy. It states that "the confederation of the original Thirteen Colonies into one republic was influenced by the political system developed by the Iroquois Confederacy as were many of the democratic principles which were incorporated into the Constitution itself."

Your own wikipedia page cites the fact that women weren't primarily accounted for in the new government as something special. That was largely a 'feature' of european society.

I'm glad the evidence is settled 100% and all the historical record is settled according to you and the sources you've cited. Hint:It's not.

Guess it is done then.

Thanks for admitting both that you don’t understand the actual position of academics on encyclopedias and that you didn’t actually read the quoted excerpt from the article, though, I guess. Especially considering that you yourself cited wiki with regards to the Sullivan Expedition.

I’m sorry that projection is the only tool you have. I hope you get better. And I’m sorry that you’re so disappointed that I actually read the sources you provided, including the Britannica source which said nothing that actually backed your claims up, but I’m sure ‘looked’ authoritative at a glance to you.

We’re done here.

You mentioned that you're an irritated person, this conversation has run its course.

I've provided a direct source from the U.S. Senate and made a few points that have been overlooked. It feels like the irritation is now driving the discussion more than the facts are.

Let's ignore that the cited historians have a clear bias against competing civilizations and entire swaths of native american history have been destroyed or ignored, as we have and continue to do. Are you sure you're a leftist?

There's no productive way forward from here.

Have a day.

You gave him links as proof he's wrong, he called you a moron, and then left. Ain't he such a good and smart dude?
