Think back a little further. We also broke a lot of treaties (like, all
of them) signed with various groups of indigenous peoples that once
populated much of the land mass we now occupy. I believe the
justification was a doctrine known as "Manifest Destiny".

This reminds me of a great T-Bone Burnett song, "Humans from Earth". It's on the soundtrack to the Wim Wenders film, "Until the End of the World".

"You have nothing at all to fear.
I think we're gonna like it here."
