The United States was built on the backs of black slave labor. The United States was founded on the wholesale extermination and land theft of native americans.
Why are these two objectively correct statements so controversial? Most white americans would throw a fuss when hearing these statements.

Never free slaves and then let them live with you afterwards. Thats the lesson. And America is fucking idiotic for doing it. They should have sent them back to africa.
Jordan Smith
We should give reparations to native americans and african-americans for the cruelty america enacted upon their people and theft of their land and labor. Why is this common sense proposal so controversial?
>The United States was built on the backs of black slave labor. Blacks were a part of it, but they certainly aren't the only cause of the US's success. Look at how much more advanced the non slave using industrial north was in the 1800s. >The United States was founded on the wholesale extermination and land theft of native americans. Not true at all, both Natives and whites were allies and enemies. Natives would ally themselves with whites to fuck over other tribes all the time. It's also not really white americans fault that natives had dogshit immune systems and died because of coofs.

>The United States was built on the backs of black slave labor. At the economic peak of King Cotton in the 1850s, cotton exports comprised only barely half of our economy. It was substantially less in previous decades, and whites played a role in cotton farming/cultivation as well. Had slavery never been illegal, we still would have had cotton exports, albeit possibly less in the short-term. >The United States was founded on the wholesale extermination and land theft of native americans. Perhaps certain tribes were exterminated entirely, and no doubt we took their land (which was a good thing), but it was an inevitable consequence of colonialism that superior powers would ultimately displace and outmode the natives.
