Hi, Petra...I think we would both have liked to see similar things, but each of us imagines it differently. That is what I meant by saying it was a "time of Possibilities." I think that with the continent being such a vast, fertile chunk of land, keeping out the Europeans would have been impossible. But like you enjoy imagining an "alternative timeline," I like to imagine a world in which the Europeans could have learned to live peaceably, side by side with the native peoples, each learning the best from the other...an idea that, again, like your "alternative timelines" was apparently impossible. But think what a world it might have been!
