Do you know my 10 year old son told us the 'real' story last week?! I never doubted him, because the boy is an enigma, not sure I even gave birth to him. Everyone in school calls him Sheldon(Big Bang Theory)...The boy knows things I can't even fathom how or where he knows them from?! So when I started reading your post, I actually got a tad nervous, thinking, O CRAP, did my son join ATS?!...Thank you for the verification! I enjoyed the story......S&F

I would just like to here some thanks once in a while for all we’ve done for the injun. How about it huh. Instead of wiping them out completely we gave them land to live. We allow them to rule their own lands like… casinos, tobacco, alcohol. They are their own nation in a nation. Do they have to worry about attacks from foreign countries? No. Do they have to worry about making money? No. Everything is provided for them. It’s like your parents letting you stay in the guest house or the room over the garage for free. You don’t have to pay rent. Worry about where your next meal is coming from or if you’ll loose your home. It will always be there. So how about a nice big THANK YOU?

The indigenous people of the Americas where savages that needed to be dealt with for colonization and expansion to happen.
Don’t tell me that we should give everything back. The world is what it is because of colonization and expansion. Look what’s going on in the middle east and Africa right now.
We should start to colonize these countries once again and the economy will improve 100 fold and peace will ring out through the land!
