Fair point. However they were here first and we took over. At the time, there was no international convention on borders, where one nation stopped and the other one started, etc. So my point stands.
What is your point exactly?
Are you asserting that since native Americans had no defined borders we should have a right to sovereignty?
No…
What we call a “nation” today wasn’t what most people called a nation in 1700 and before. Much of the world wasn’t charted. Leo said that there wasn’t a defined nation here and using Western European standards; that’s pretty accurate. However, it is not deniable by anyone other than the village idiot that they were here first so we were the “invader” if you want to use that term. Essentially the same term used by trumpians today except; of course, we actually were invaders with armies, technology, organization, disease, etc…
I get it...but why all the semantics and drama?
The British “invasion” of this nation is the best thing that ever happened to you and this country. Mexico invading this nation is quite possibly the worst thing that has ever happened to it/us. See the difference?
What’s super bizarre is it almost sounds as if you’re bummed that the British conquered this land, that we Declared Independence and sovereignty?....It almost sounds like you’re bummed that we don’t / won’t let others invade us? Do you realize how weird that all sounds to normal, proud Americans?
I knew some dumb ass would make the allegation you just made. I’m not surprised you’re the dumbass who did.
What “allegation” are you talking about?
You’ve said what you’ve said...you’ve made yourself look like an unAmerican fool...I’ve stood here and watched...that’s all.
pfft
That my pointing out that we were the original illegal aliens is somehow me stating that we were wrong for conquering the indigenous peoples.
