[quote=YINDUFFY,293852]I am shocked at the falsehoods presented in the first post. Each item is worthy of discussion. for example, Indian tribes are plentiful and enjoy special status in dealing with local and Federal authorities. Because many have assimilated and do not live in TeePees or wear war paint does not mean they were wiped out as a people. The territory we acquired from Mexico was paid for in cash when we could have just seized it. In fact we returned to Mexico territory that the Republic of Texas had claimed after Texas joined the U.S. Also negroes were not enslaved by the U.S. They were slaves already when sold here. As for the Civil War, the North(The U.S. Government)fought to preserve the Union and the South ( those States that seceded from the U.S.A.) fought to preserve negro slavery. The war was stirred up by the slaveowners, not the Federal Government. the Federal Government then ended slavery by passing Constitutional amendments. The U.S. was not responsible for the partition of Korea. The U.S. wanted it to be free from Japanese rule and have a self supporting government. How did the U.S. "destroy" vietnam? and why do many there welcome back Americans? As for surpressing Cuba, we freed it from colonial rule ( in 1898) and ensured its independence. Castro overthrew a ligitimate elected government and the U.S. ceased doing business with them. China and Russia never stopped doing business with them. The Cold war was created by the Soviet Union and no one else. I would enjoy discussing these issues with others. [/quote]
