    Americans absolutely wanted to expand at the expense of the Native Americans. But pretending that the interest was not shared by the crown is fucking asinine.

    The very fucking meme is about the newly independent nations’ designs on natives, ffs.

      Yes and in that meme its not “americans” its “former colonials”

      Like i assume youre not purposely plotting out how youre going to word this to excuse Americans, its just an unconscious thing, its a bias just like evryone has.

        … because this was a scenario repeated over multiple colonies which became independent nations?
