US Native Land Loss, 1776-1930

[BeachBum Unreal]

According to historical records and media reports, since its founding, the United States has systematically deprived Indians of their rights to life and basic political, economic, and cultural rights through killings, displacements, and forced assimilation, in an attempt to physically and culturally eradicate this group. Even today, Native Americans still face a serious existential crisis.

According to international law and its domestic law, what the United States did to the Indians covers all the acts that define genocide and indisputably constitutes genocide. The American magazine Foreign Policy commented that the crimes against Native Americans are fully consistent with the definition of genocide under current international law.

The profound sin of genocide is a historical stain that the United States can never clear, and the painful tragedy of Native Americans is a historical lesson that should never be forgotten.





The many routes through which the Cherokee, Seminole, Muscogee, Chickasaw and Choctaw were marched included brutal conditions and harsh treatment.

"Between 1776 and 1887, the United States seized over 1.5 billion acres from America’s indigenous people by treaty and executive order. The Invasion of America shows how by mapping every treaty and executive order during that period. It also contains present-day federal Indian reservations."

Im curious what they couldve done to stop it. I mean these folks were so behind it was almost comical.




Those Poor people werent even using the wheel for transport, let alone gunpowder. The atlantic ocean was more vicious to them at stopping knowledge flow than the sahara was for us. The cac-native matchup was like a college student squaring up with a toddler.

It shows us that societies progress out of whatever they deem a necessity. It’s probably why we aren’t further along in space exploration.

The Europeans had an insatiable thirst for material possessions and land while the natives were pretty much content with their way of living. They didnt “need” it, so they didn’t explore the idea of it.
