I get sick of hearing this “colonialism” BS...you are a colonist...unless you are sitting right where your ancestors from 300,000 years ago were scavenging.
de-colonization. I'm open to correction, but in 1775 I don't believe there were any independent nations in our hemisphere, only colonies of a handful of countries in western Europe. Thanks to the movement started in 1776 there are nearly 50 independent nations. If de-colonization is a positive, we must recognize it began with our Founders.
