And we did steal their land while doing our fair share of the pillaging and murdering. Hitler was used by satan in his battle to keep God from fulfilling his word. You dont get much more vile and evil then hitler.
Nonetheless we were brutal in the methods we used and we almost wiped out a entire continent of native people. Ex-texan makes a good point. We certainly could not have done what we did if we did it in the mid 1900's instead of 1700 and 1800.
The Indians were wiping each other out when we got here. They attacked us as much as we attacked them. They weren't exactly sitting around singing camp songs and making peace beads when we landed.
The Indians were not innocent little deer nibbling grass in the meadow. They fought the war and they lost the war. We didn't just arbitrarily wipe them out.
