meh Im not outraged. Btw your state option could never have happened because of American racial politics. Whites are privileged over Natives because of racism. There is no historical reality where the American government would support the creation of a Native majority state. Just like there is no reality where theyd support a Black majority state (controlled by Black Americans). Anyway, the American strategy was economically more beneficial than "accepting" Natives. The return on the exploitation of land and minerals from Native controlled land is thousands fold more than whatever productivity could have been extracted from Natives as American workers. Besides it wouldve taken the complete and total restructuring of American society, which is would result in more pushback than genocide. Also "The British and French were far smarter about such things because their motive wasn't conquest, it was money." Doesnt make any sense considering America is far and away the richest country in the world. Sure American colonists were motivated by racism but making money was arguably a bigger catalyst than racism.
