This is pretty typical American revisionism. Everything bad that happened durung colonial times was done by “the crown” or “colonists” or even “the english” but when its something they want to take credit for then those same peope were Americans.
Americans absolutely wanted to expand at the expense of the Native Americans. But pretending that the interest was not shared by the crown is fucking asinine.
The very fucking meme is about the newly independent nations’ designs on natives, ffs.
Yes and in that meme its not “americans” its “former colonials”
Like i assume youre not purposely plotting out how youre going to word this to excuse Americans, its just an unconscious thing, its a bias just like evryone has.
