Your country may be only 230 years old, but MY Country is far older than that.
sorry...if you are of american indian descent, your people were defeated by an invasive force of Europeans. Much like virtually every other nation on earth, the effective use of force established what we have today. Look at the past few years...where is Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Soviet Union,when someone else takes over ( usually by force) they are in control. While some may not agree, to the victor go the spoils...it has always worked that way and always will
