We didn't go far enough. 54 40' to Baja California is rightful American land.

Do you guys ever think the Iranians sit around whining about how much land they stole from the Persians?
>>
>>1998451
Iranians are the Persians.

BC is rightful American clay too.
The way Alaska is separated from the rest of the US is triggering my map autism.

>>1998581

Lmao wut?
How are Cuba and Santo Domingo American clay?
>>
Obviously. You can't really break any rules when there are none. There's we took over America but not Poland, Lithuania, Serbia, China; because they were actually nations with a central government.

What difference does it make?
I hate questions like this. It's already over. American colonists did exactly what any other nation of the time would do. Sometimes I wish it was 300 years or more ago so people who ask this bullshit would simply be killed

"Rightfully American"
Americans tried to take it back.
They failed.

I kind of want to fuck the lady spirit of Manifest Destiny right now desu
Do you think she'd fuck me if she could become human-sized

Native American chiefs did not represent their people, they were like mini dictators, so it was morally justified to wage war upon them.
>>
>>2004702
But after we herded them into reservations we let those same chiefs represent and rule them under the principle of Tribal Sovereignty.

It literally is a self justifying ideal.

>>2004711
I didn't say we weren't tyrannical assholes either.

Cuba and Hispaniola used to be occupied by the US military ala the Philippines at various points in time.
>>
>>2004628
no, too busy removing buffalo.
>>
>>2004754
At this point they're pretty much more or less removed.
>>
>>2004758
>more or less removed
remove, or do not remove
there is no more or less
>>
>>2004628
Probably not, they were killing indigenous peoples and you're just posting on the second popular geopolitics board on 4chan.
>>
>>2004735
I bet you mean Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philippines these were occupied as war spoils of the spanish-american war and american could only claim Haiti which it invaded during 1915. America would not be able to claim the whole island since has never intervened or had major influence on the island like Cuba and Puerto Rico.
>>
>>2007562
They could never claim it because of the Dominican Republic.
>>
trading for land = good
Many Native Americans christianized and more would have done so once they realized european craftsmen and technology could make them wealthy. Respecting the rights of Native Americans would not have impeded progress, however no one cared about anyone's rights back then, it was rule by the strongest.
