Of course it was Texas lol
probs
Haha what other state.. Alaska?!
"We want to go back to russia!"
like i said Texas and Cali are the ones that always want to succeed lol
Alaska dont want to go back, although Russia want them to come back kek
the reasources
And the military strategic interests..
Pres who bought it got shat on but place ended up being black gold
oh def
No great deed goes un-punished..
Hawaii we essentially conquered
that i havent looked into though
but yea Alaska got Oil so we were satisfied in the end
Hawaii has an indigenous population, right?
yea
we overthrew their Queen iirc
it was weird
then we just turned around and gave them statehood
although again i dont know that much about it
I have a feeling this "invasion" also created a massive lift in standard of living, but also a loss of sovereignty
yeaaaaa
I know that there are some who use it for their identity politics
oh boy.. one of few topics i try not to touch 😛
same with Native Americans (they all prefer different names for them)
yeaaaa
Yea if you ever meet a Native American dont be afraid to ask what to refer to them as
Some are fine with Indian, some prefer Native American, or Indigenous People, or whatever tribe they are part of
hard core!
basically it varies per individual or tribe
Tbh i think that the Federal Government needs to help the reservations more because if we are gonna make them live there we might as well treat them well too
they have rampant poverty issues that we could help
Do they have access to education?
i don't think we will ever get to a point where they become independent nations. maybe states but that'd have to be negotiated with the current states they reside in
yea
They are all citizens
iirc
so they have all the same benefits
I personally think that if the have access to education they also have the choice to persue better and other lives
they just get ignored
therefor you have no obligation to aid them specifically before other groups/individuals
