To: Little Bill
This is important ~ in 1830 the State of New York seized Canandaigua and Oneida lands on the grounds that the people living there were NOT Indians and had no rights.

The Oneida took another 160 years to win a lawsuit to allow them to reacquire their property.

A VAST number of white folks got wagons and went West all over the place as a consequence. A little bit later they had what were called the Tenant Strikes (riots) near Livingston NY ~ this involved tenant farmers refusing to pay rent and demanding the right to buy land from the old Dutch estates. The owners refused to deal. The people there hitched up wagons and took off.

The folks running New York brought in illegal aliens who were more amenable to oppression.

Hasn't been the same since. Horrid place.
