If you’ve ever watched summaries of historical events, especially how wars are started, prolonged, and ended, you’ll see that the themes of greed, corruption, and power repeats over and over again. One of the crazier, but unsurprising concepts I learned was manifest destiny—the idea that Americans are destined by god to expand and spread themselves and their values to the rest of the USA. It didn’t matter if they owned the land or if there were people there already, it was the god-given right and they would do whatever it take. Basically, one giant justification for murder and illegal occupation.
