Exactly what laws were broken when the USA was formed? None. They was no government, country or borders. Go back to school.

Actually, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy has a clan-village system of democracy that existed long before the US. Parts of the US Constitution are actually based on it.

We weren’t a country with borders back then. What you seem to forget about the past is that colonizing and invading other countries was the word of the day back then.

"Back then" including last weekend, as Netanyahu rubber stamps West Bank settlements and Putin chews another bite of tasty, tasty Ukraine...

Agreed. For those that haven't read the book, "Lies My Teacher Told Me", it is worth the read.

And Howard Zinn's People's History of course. @ZinnEdProject

Are you including Native Americans who would go to war with neighboring tribes and take their land?

I am Native and you claim to know more about my History than I do. You see everything through the Euro perspective of Colonization Wars and Manifest Destin. My ancestors did not live here for over 20000 years and have endless wars. That is the European Narrative and it is a lie!

As a teacher I will tell you when Columbus Day comes I ask, if I came to your house and claimed to “find” does it now belong to me? Now compare that to Columbus. I have a degree in History from over 20 years ago, and I don’t teach lies. Nationalism is often taught at home.

I’m a history teacher too. I’m pretty damn adamant about making sure explorers aren’t glorified.
