From who's point of view "nothing bad has happened"? I could mention the native Americans, I'm sure they weren't too happy about manifest destiny and stuff.

It was the Native American's own fault. They were on our land first..

Our euphemism for Ethnic cleansing was "removals". It sounds so much nicer that way.

Lesson 1: It is not good to find yourself between an expansionist country and a coast line. It will not bode well for your future.
