WHY ARE WE STILL PRETENDING THAT THE KEY DEFINING ASPECT OF WHITE EXPANSION INTO NORTH AMERICA WAS SOME SORT OF "RIGHTS" OR "BUSINESS" OR SOME OTHER EIGHTEENTH CENTURY POWDERED WIG FAD THAT CAME AND WENT,
WHEN A MASSIVE CONTINENT-WIDE CENTURIES LONG RACE WAR HAD TO BE FOUGHT FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF THIS LIFE?

SEEMS LIKE A MISPLACED CONCERN.

AND NOT JUST CHUGS
THERE WERE HURRICANES, PLAGUES, HAIL THE SIZE OF SMALL APPLES, LOCUST SWARMS EATING SHIRTS OFF PEOPLE'S BACKS, SODBUSTERS, THE OREGON TRAIL, EVERYTHING
IDK THE CONQUEST SEEMS MORE IMPORTANT
LIKE, IT'S JUST SO MUCH LARGER THAN THE ACCIDENT OF PERIOD POLITICAL PREFERENCE SO AS TO DWARF IT ALL, IT'S INCOMPARABLE
