he US should return the land that the UN sits on to the Native Americans.
Great minds think alike.You were posting as I was typing.
Eventually Philippe I gave much of it away ~ some to his cousins in France, some to his cousins in Scotland, some to other relatives ~ even some for general colonization by whoever wished ~ that's the old core area called VIRGINIA. That stretched from roughly what is now the Pennsylvania/New York border South to South Carolina/Georgia. The line was smudgy down there since that part was already getting carved into Spanish landgrants.
So, how did the Indians deal with this ~ ?
Well, they didn't except the Brits took care to make sure the locals believed they'd been paid for their land. After the Revolution, and a couple of disasters, the US government took care to do that, as did Canada.
Spain never did any of that although they'd pay ransom to the Comanches for kidnapped people. The Comanches didn't own anything anyway ~ they dressed in Western clothes, used firearms and rode horses.
In the end treaties were signed for disposition of all the land and payments were made. Even the Cherokee were paid for their land albeit in a forced sale ~ the government wanted the gold there dug up and put into circulation (monetarism was a big deal back then so that made taking land easier on the conscience I guess).
There are no Indians to whom the US owes any money for land ~ it's been paid. Even the Brits and Canadians made their payments. Spain didn't.
I"d recommend the UNited NATions go see them about it!
While doing that they need to check out the Dutch on this slave thing ~ lots of unpaid bills there.
bingo...except this is just the kind of turmol and vullshit this pos wants to get started to tear us apart for his agenda to be dictator for life...well i say bring it on...lets start the rumble
OK but only if we get our beads and trinkets back.
There you go ! That land in NYC was, after all, once the possession of one or more Native American tribes.
