When This Was A Nation Of Laws

[Desperado]

When were we a nation of laws?

In Worcester v. Georgia, 31 U.S. 515 (1832), the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Cherokee Nation was sovereign. According to the decision rendered by Chief Justice John Marshall, this meant that Georgia had no rights to enforce state laws in its territory.[34]​

​

President Andrew Jackson decided not to uphold the ruling of this case, and directed the expulsion of the Cherokee nation. U.S. Army forces were used in some cases to round them up. Their expulsion and subsequent route is called "The Trail of Tears." Of the 15,000 who left, 4,000 died on the journey to "Indian Territory" in the present-day U.S. state of Oklahoma.[35]​

We are still screwing Native Americans.

Just like so many government school grads, your knowledge and 'truth' comes from Disney films.

Drop back when you take up reading.

Gads, you are a moron.



I provide facts, you ignore them.
I have always said that government school turns out anti-intellectuals, and your post proves it.

You're making excuses for the genocide of Native Americans.
Any way you slice it sister, it's wrong.

 

[Whodatsaywhodat.]

In what ways did European settlers keep 'moral values' from the stone age savages that they found here?

"Hi, I'm from Europe. The bad news is me and my friends are going to kill half of you and steal all your land and resources. The good news is you won't be savages anymore."

What the hell are you people doing here in america? Move!

There never was any such genocide, you moron.
It is a fabrication used as a proxy for hatred of America.

Here, more education you'll ignore:

1. " However, the arrival of the white man precipitated what was probably the worst
demographic disaster in history. It was not warfare but disease which played the majorpart.The Indians had no resistance to tuberculosis, pneumonia, cholera, typhus, smallpox and other European ailments, with the result that their population declined by about 90 per cent between 1492 and 1650, disappearing altogether in some areas."
"Wild in Woods: The Myth of the Noble Eco-Savage,' by Robert Whelan, p.29-30



2. Was this 'genocide' by North African Muslims?????

"The Black Death arrived in Europe by sea in October 1347 when 12 Genoese trading ships docked at the Sicilian port of Messina after a long journey through the Black Sea.... Over the next five years, the mysterious Black Death would kill more than 20 million people in Europe–almost one-third of the continent’s population."

Black Death ‑ Causes, Symptoms & Impact

The Black Death was a devastating global epidemic of bubonic plague that struck Europe and Asia in the mid‑1300s. Explore the facts of the plague, the symptoms it caused and how millions died from it.

3. May 14, 1796, Edward Jenner thought of a way to perform mankind's first vaccination: he lanced a sore on the wrist of a milkmaid named Sarah Nelmes, and scratched the arm of 8-year-old James Phipps with the same instrument.
Phipps came down with a mild case of cowpox...but, even after several exposures to smallpox, he never came down with the deadly disease.
How deadly? Smallpox killed sixty million people in that century, disfiguring and blinding many millions more. ." One of the deadliest diseases known to humans, smallpox is the only disease to have been eradicated by vaccination." Disease Eradication mdash History of Vaccines


Which of the above represents a "genocide"?

Right.....none.



4. The decimation of Indian populations stemmed only rarely from massacres or military actions, but the majority of Indian deaths came from infectious disease. There is the romanticized view that paints the settlers as barbaric, and the Indians as peaceful victims.

It is a myth that finds a home among America haters, who attempt to use slander of the settlers as a proxy for slandering today's Americans



Genocide means deliberate and systematic. As described by the UN Convention, Article II, it involves “ a series of brutal acts committed with intent to destroy, …a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group as such.”

No such thing happened.

Nothing exposes the ignorance of the Left like a little bit of simple American history.

It's shocking just how brainwashed these people are.

I attribute the vast amount of ignorance to government schooling, and that most are too lazy to read a book.

Time and again when I ask for three or four of the books that have informed their geopolitical outlook, I get the deer-in-the-headlights expression.

i beg to differ with the casinos the Seminoles are doing just fine

Just looked it up talk about a guarantee income:
The Seminole tribe in Florida brings in a lot of money, and tribe members get about $7,000 a month per person man, woman and children

Do the Seminole Indians receive payments from the casinos? - Answers

That depends on where the Seminole Indians live and what tribe they are affiliated with. The Seminole tribe in Florida brings in a lot of money, and tribe members get about $7,000 a month. Other tribes have different financial circumstances.
