Just wanted to make note of the fact that, though color and Puritanism
played important roles in colonization, Britain's first colony was not in
Africa or in India or even in America but in Ireland, which is white as
the driven snow and was exploited centuries before the Reformation,
Calvin, and the Puritans.
