Well,as far as I see it America was annexed.It’s just a fact.

I've been reading a little lately on early American expansion and the Indian Wars. Nobility and savagery on both sides - legitimate land purchases vs driving people from their land, many tribes certainly had less than stellar aspects to their culture, but the European settlers were often no better in their dealings with them (some did plenty of their own scalping, for example). Indians had slaves too - Africans, whites and rival tribesmen - and they were notoriously ruthless in battle toward all, regardless of noncombatant status, age or gender. But stuff like the Trail of Tears - horrifically handled and tragic. A no-win situation in many ways, but a part of American history we can learn from.
