And of course this also neglects to mention how dependent early European settlers were on native trade. They didn’t land somewhere uninhabited, in Roanoke and Jamestown and Plymouth the Europeans relied upon native peoples for food before they could feed themselves.

A great many of the early European settlers were also very poor unskilled laborers. Virginia imported massive numbers of indentured servants (including my own ancestors), most were English, but others were from India, Ireland, or Africa. When these servants revolted in Bacon’s rebellion due to demands for land, the planter class shifted towards African chattel slavery to avoid having to provide land to freed former laborers.

thereal._.ruckus mentioned mesa verde as an example of an existing native city and its far from the only one. North America was less urbanized than Mexico but had a number of large settlements, particularly in the southwest and in a region known as the Mississippian culture throughout the Midwest. The largest of these Mississippian settlements like Cahokia and Spiro Mounds were abandoned prior to European arrival, but many were encountered by the Spanish De Soto Expedition in the 1500s

Other large native settlements existed in Florida (such as the Calusa) and the Pacific coast (dense, socially stratified cultures fed by salmon).

Even early Anglo-Americans expressed fears about foreigners immigrating which never materialized. Benjamin Franklin, for example, was made uncomfortable by German immigration into Pennsylvania. He said they were swarthy and disliked the widespread use of the German language. But it turned out completely fine, as did every other wave of immigrants afterwards. Including the Italians, Irish, poles, and others who immigrated during the industrial age of the late 1800s when the frontier was closed.

So do you disagree that we use our leverage as a superpower to fuck over smaller countries and keep them poor or do you just think we should blame the citizens of those countries anyway?
