Just a little something to ponder. What does Persian mean ie the prince of Persia, and what does Iran mean. Look this up and you will be better prepared to make a statement like this.If Jesus had existed, he would have been dark skinned. He was from the Middle East as were both his parents.
On another note read the original proclamation of Thanksgiving (the real origination of the American thanksgiving holiday not the made up pilgrim and Indian story) by George Washington and you will find enough information to answer the OP question. Also once again I refer to Thomas Payne and the federalist papers they put the timeframe and the precursor to the constitution as to the foundations of what was being done.
