Actually purchased land from or drove the inhabitants from the lands in question.
Review your history.
Review my history??
Rather condescending comment.
What do you think ‘drove people from the land’ is? sounds like conquest to me. We also purchased large parcels or conquered large parcel from other who had conquered the land.
I am not sure what point you are trying to make. I was attempting to explain that ‘eminent domain’ is not written into the constitution. Are you trying to say that driving people from their land was NOT a purchase or a conquest. Maybe it was a negotiated settlement.
The only place that I am aware of where eminent domain does not apply is base upon the treaty whereby we conquered land from Mexico. The treaty stated that the U.S. would recognize the Mexican Land Grants that could be proven and direct ancestral lineage.
