    The English only momentarily stopping

    Historically inaccurate.

    does not excuse the 170 years prior

    Who is holding this up as an excuse? You’re arguing the settlers who would shoot a British Officer purely for the privilege of shooting the American Native standing behind him are somehow providing these native peoples a social benefit.

    I don’t think you’re a rational person worth arguing with.

      The native standing behind the british officer, you’re demented for believing such garbage. Manifest Destiny would have prevailed regardless of the Colonies subservience to the crown.

      Autboritarian regimes are a much crueler and worse form of government.
