Early Americans are in fact Brits and they went ahead and killed most of the Indians All of this from so called religious settlers? I guess now things make more sense.


Eh? you think that makes sense?

I think you'll find none of it was in the name of religion, just in the name of money. The British Empire discovered new territories, colonised them, taxed them, traded their commodities and generally made as much money from them as they could.

Absolutely no different to what the Spanish was doing in South and Central America or the French in Africa etc...

This all happened 100's of years ago, the way people treated black people then is not how they do now.
The British here couldn't deal with the Aboriginals regarding the signed agreement terms they had with other colanizing countries: agreements made to stop them just walking in there and blasting them to pieces and taking their land.
The Aboriginals said we cant trade this land for these beads blankets wiskey or anything else its not our land to give away! Its your land and its our land you use it we use it.No problem.
So they British ciefs went home said it isnt happening over there this lot wont talk our terms.

So what they did was they said right they must be animals then; so they classed the Aboriginal people as Flora and fauna so that they wound'nt be held accountable by trade law or any other for eradicating them as they then did.

Our prime minister Mr Paul Keating took the title of Flora and fauna from their heads and made them equal by law only about 20 years ago.

The Spainish were lucky lucky bastards and very Sly and greedy.
They flew the Knights Templars colors of the red cross on a white background when they sailed into the central Americas.They knew why they were going and what they were getting and how to do it the easiest way.
They just walked on in like an old and trusted friend.The unguarded Mayan Gold was all they were there for.They didnt give a rats for their false religious reasons or any means of future education .
Greedy Sly Evil Religious Colonizing Bastards the whole lot of them.
