To those that watched the documentary on TV tonight: There is a difference between Jonestown and Jamestown.
-Jonestown was the site in Guyana (in South America) where 40 years ago (1978) 918 Americans (including 304 children) drank poisoned Kool-Aid and killed themselves because their cult leader told them to (it's where the phrase: "They drank the Kool-Aid" came from.
- Jamestown is the site of the first permanent English colony in the Americas. Located in Virginia and founded in 1607 (the fort) and 1619 (the town.) Today it is a living history town. It is also the name of a 2017 British TV show about the colony that is on it's third season.
