re: #694 LudwigVanQuixote

Hmmm… the French conquered that from the Indians and sold that to us. Then we proceeded to wipe out the Indians in an act of open genocide. Not a good example.

The only possible place where there is real room for debate is Hawaii. So OK, I will rephrase it, what part of the Continental US was not taken by conquest?

If I have my mythology correct Texas was born full formed from Sam Houston’s forehead.
