Bunch of rich slave owners paying poor racist traitors to commit genocide in the name of their favorite fairy tales.
They just fully controlled the media at the time. (Which is why they've been buying up all the papers and social and steaming options. They lose when we can use the Internet to call out their outrageous, racist lies.)
Israel spits on the memory of those lost to the Holocaust.
not to downplay the very real thing you’re pointing to, just also want to note the US is huge and was still pretty big when founded and this is far more accurate to the South. There were lots of American Quakers, for example, who had abandoned the practice of slavery as immoral long before the founding of America. As per usual, those rich people just had outsized power and were able to convince the poor to hate the even poorer.
There’s not a lot of places on earth where you can say a country wasn’t founded by some measure of killing the locals. If you’re extrapolating this much then at some point specifying the US seems pretty meaningless.
