He may be a true American hero – except he was Croatian by nationality. True enough, he probably couldn’t have realized himsel as he did, had he stayed in his home country.

Except that it is not true. Zinn was a propagandist and put the worst possible slant on things, left out important information, etc., etc. No real historian takes him seriously.

In regards to No. 10 that Abner Doubleday invented Baseball, he is also credited for inventing the Box Score. And in regards to No.8, The Salem Witch Trials, I am a direct descendant of Samuel Gorton (who you can find in the encyclopedia or the wikipedia on your computer) who was from England and came to America in the very early 17th century and founded the city of Warwick, R.I. He was a priest by trade and knew very many influential people. But because of his preaching methods, he was condemned to heresy. I panel of judges took the consideration of the evidence on him and declared him innocent by just one vote. Had he been found guilty, he would have burned at the stake. If it not been for that one vote, I would probably not be here typing this, or I could be possibly somebody else………WHEW !!!!
