If only the american Indians could have done the same. Modern America is now a failure to this land now.
I find it an odd fit trying to equate the displacement of the American Indian with some relevance related to Northern European descendents vs Southern European descendents on the U.S. Mexican border.
The displacement of the American Indian is an interesting topic, but I am not convinced at some point it wouldn’t have taken place anyway, if not from the East by Northern Europeans then from the West by Southern Europeans.
As the global population expanded, it was probably only a matter of time before disease and the disbursement of humans across the surface of the Earth would have basically accomplished the same thing settlers in the U.S. did.
Perhaps I’m over-simplifying things, but you can look at the indigenous American Indian populations in Alaska, and see a dwindling of their numbers, even without a savage effort on our part to reign them in.
This is a complex topic. I’m not convinced we acted appropriately in all instances. I have some sorrow over some of what did take place. It would seem to me that it would be rather difficult to address all of it here in a short enough time frame to be completely relevant on this forum.
