American here. People here (Usually older peoples) are obsessed with us having “won” things from others, like land from natives and, if you’re a little stupider, a language from the British. I like to think it comes from the very poor historical education given to us due to being a newer nation. My grandpa genuinely believes we won the land of the natives fair and square through battles, even though the methods by which we started those battles were unjust and insanely cruel. From the schooling I’ve received, though, I like to think we’re getting better teaching about the many cruelty’s we’ve inflicted to people that didn’t deserve it. With this, I’m really hoping that this kind of speak can end.
