No, let’s be historically accurate please Anon. The original inhabitants met the first explorers or settlers with wonder, curiosity, and attempted to help them. It was first the innocent but tragic distribution of diseases, then later the armies that followed these initial settlers that caused the pillaging and widespread destruction to Native Americans. The first settlers meant no harm as they were fleeing persecution themselves.
I thought all Americans were foreign-born, or recently descended from those who were?
Whenever I worked in America my cow-orkers were always proud to tell me they were Polish or Irish etc.
