Dr. Adequate, you're adequacy level of debate is waning here in this message, decrying the escape of the oppressed people from Europe and GB, risking life and posessions for freedom in the Americas.
Here's the deal. If you're serious, to be fair to whom you consider the oppressed, you need to find yourself an oppressed descendent of one of the tribes cited and hand over all you have to their nation; your land, because you think it belongs to them and your stuff for repatriation. You're being hypocritical claiming deed to land which IYO does not belong to you.
This has nothing to do with what I wrote.
I simply pointed out that as a matter of historical fact the US
did "grab nations and add them to our empire".
I did not say nor imply that it would now be a good idea to give it all back, say sorry, and go back to Europe; nor that it was, in the final analysis, a bad thing; I just said that
it happened. Which is a fact.

In the same way, if someone points out that slavery
existed, do you start yelling at
them that if
that's what they think they should give everything they have to a black person, and that they're hypocritical if they don't?
It's merely a factual proposition about events in the past.
