[ACC25126]

You might want to consider some things that conflict with your idyllic image. Vermont also had a racist policy of sterilizing as many American Indian men and women as they could get their hands on, and completely AGAINST the will of the natives. This lasted for more than 50 years, until the early 1970s. More recently, some people in the state government are pushing for the use of forcible genetic testing to deny natives their legal status as citizens of tribal nations. I’d say that lack of a large no-white population is the key to understanding the mentality of much of that state’s people. It’s more of an attitude of ‘We can be generous toward anyone who’s not our kind. But we don’t want TOO many of them here.’ That’s actually slightly better than many places in this country, but still hardly something we should be encouraging.
