“God help us.”
Destiny. Look, all the politicos tell us this can’t be stopped, that it is ‘Inevitable destiny’....just one ‘superior’ culture taking over one that has been stagnant and must be replaced, right? It’s progress!!!
This isn’t the first time the indigenous people of this country have been replaced because of some group of
elites political desires. Just remember, we ARE the current indigenous tribe...but not for long. History does indeed repeat itself.
c. 1830 -——Elias Boudinot, (aka Buck OOwatee) as Editor of The Cherokee Phoenix, which was published both in English and Cherokee and read in the East and Europe, captured the Cherokee situation in just a few words.
“Perhaps Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe were only tantalizing us when they encouraged us in the pursuit of agriculture and government. Why were we not told long ago that we could not be permitted to establish a government within the limits of any state? The Cherokees have always had a government of their own. Nothing, however, was said when we were governed by savage laws. Others say it is time for the Cherokees to submit to inevitable destiny.
What Destiny? To be slandered and then butchered? Yes, this is the bitter cup prepared for us by a republican and religious government. We shall drink it to the dregs.”
I don't follow your example. While there is a similarity of change, it's not history repeating itself, except maybe as parody.
The Cherokee leaders didn't decide submission to the USA was a good idea and force it on their people. They didn't have the wherewithal to prevent it.
With any smidgen of backbone, the border could be closed. This is national suicide.
