There are two kinds of white men. There are the Americans,
and there are the others. You may give your hand in friendship to the French,
or the Spaniards, or the British. But the Americans are not like those. The
Americans come from the slime of the sea, with mud and weeds in their claws,
and they are a kind of crayfish serpent whose claws grab in our earth and take
it from us.
-Tenskwatawa, the Shawnee Prophet
I think that today he would have included Canadians in the "crayfish serpent" category. Canada used to be a well-respected country. By the time the US is done with them, they'll be just as despised as we are.
Also by the way, Tenskwatawa's description of us reminds me of the following Biblical passage:
Also by the way, Tenskwatawa's description of us reminds me of the following Biblical passage:
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise
up out of the sea.
Revelation 13:1 KJV
The United States of America is literally a beast which rose up out of the sea to inhabit this land.
