Right or wrong it happened and shaped our country.

Manifest destiny at its finest.

I am sure a historian could bring up rightful ownership, but might makes right. Especially at that time. Honeyed words and sentiments do nothing against a howitzer.

Should we vacate all states since they were host to native indians? NO!

They came across a land bridge, we should deport them to Russia, where they came from. How much time, is enough time to exert ownership, and exude butthurt?

Our ex slaves still claim grievances, even though none of them ever felt a whip. Lots too many oppurtunists. (I'll spare you my affirmative action rant)

My point is, time is past, whats done is done.

You are debating right and wrong with a time where you could marry a 14 year old when you are in your 30s. Where you you were publically hung for stealing a horse.

To apply todays morality to an act of the 1800s is unfair.
