denu my comparasion of china to america at the time one strictly in the context of being a massive trading power who undercuts free trade the world over for their own econimc benifit. the point is that america in the time ofthe cotton and textiles expolsion did the exact same thing and the world at the time viewed america as the world viewed china now in strictly economic terms i am not talking about social contexts in that issue. i would love comment in the context i intended ther comments will tend to present my point in a light that i did not intend. to your other comments the treatment of certain native american tribes in the time of andrew jackson and others was worse than the treatment of jews by hitler undere any rational faorms of measurement. and no the people did not see it as either just or justified a proper research of accounts from the time period itself will show that vast number of americans themselves condemed it as murder and genocide. and it was murder and genocide. murder and genocide is murder and genocide regardless of the time period in which it was done and human beings in all generations will condem murder and genocide even if the do nt stop it. as for terrorism not existing. what do you call holding a man at gunpoint and instructing him to leave his land that he legally bought and killing him on the spot if he did not|?
what is that|?
what about spreading the word that if you gather at your church the church will be burned to the ground and everyone children children and all will be murdered|? what about burning the said church down when you defy them and go|? whats that|? isnt that terrorism denu|? do you think the church at the time condoned those actions or the american eople did, they did not they protested tghe had rallies they complained in the news papers they had papers at the time just as we do today when various nutcases and groups today issue warnings etc. it was terrorism and terrorism existed in the 19th century americans just wont accept that they had terrorists and yes andrew jackson did use terror tactics to achieve his own ends and he used those tactics against people who were recognised by the american government you skip oer that point denu
the american government and the supreme court recoginesed the legitimacy of the civilized indian tribes at the time this is no painting by a wrong brush research and see. at the time the action was condemned it was known to be both illegal and reprehensible by all americans andrew jackson simply did not give a rats ass. terrorists usually dont. by any definition in any time period if the people arond you condem your actions if the newspapers do if your government does there is no way anyone can claim tht it was not seen to be bot illegal and reprehensible at the time and now looking back.
and i am curious denu, do you consider trans atlantic slavery, that particular variety not slavery in general, the brand tht was practiced in the southern cotten belt in the 1840s to be socially acceptable in the context of the time in which it occured|? is it your understandng that america overal vuewed that as par for the course or acceptable at the time a majority of americans considered it a crime against humanity that was incompatible with the founding principles of the nation. america is and always built on hyprocrasy. the foundation was good . the building is very shaky and remains to be so even today though i will concede structral works have been taking place not by will by force of nature.
