If the Wampanoag Indians would have allowed the remaining surviving pilgrims to perish how would history been different? If they were farsighted enough and wiped out the pilgrims they may have not been able to prevent their land from being stolen but it may have made it harder? If they wiped out the pilgrims when word finally got back to Europe maybe they would have had pause before going to the Americas again any time soon? Do you think many Native Americans look back at what Squanto did as somewhat the same as Eve dooming mankind in the Garden of Eden; that his act set in motion the decimation of their way of life?
