Although the British were dependent on the Poles for the financial success of the colony they decided that citizenship was a privilege reserved only for Englishmen so the Polish workers were denied the right to vote. The same undemocratic spirit. unfortunately still survives in much of the world today. Too many persons. who falsely think themselves the best kind of Americans. sometimes look down on their fellow citizens forgetting that all the people in America. who are not Indians. are descendants of Immigrants. whether they came here 300 or 30 years ago. Well. the Polish colonists in Virginia protested. They said they were as good as anybody else in the colony and if they were not given their rights they would not work.
