It was decided by Noah Webster

He wanted America to not be associated with Britain but to be it's own entity

Which also makes me blame America on a lot of the genocide that went on in America, instead of blaming Britain

And all the slave trade

As far as I’m concerned, what happened in America stays on America

It's interesting how they've whitewashed the genocide through the scapegoat of infectious disease.

Infectious disease is a big issue in immigration

One I’ll have to worry about in maybe 3 years time

That came out of nowhere

What did?

We were talking about dictionaries

And now it's genocides

Yeah
I’ll also say this right now
I have almost no interest in history

Blame is stupid

I wasn't there

There is nobody alive to blame

Just testing out discords chat rooms. You mentioned genocide thought I'd throw out my two cents. I'm assuming this is just typical chatbots or?

No swearing

I don’t know what went on in America, all I know is that now there’s a new group of people that call themselves Americans and all the native Americans seem to be dead so I’d say that the new “Americans” are the cause

And no, this is not chatbots

Cause of what?

I do have a self learning chatbot of my own creation though but I haven’t made that work on discord

As a historian i blame ideas for things happening

Not groups of people

I’d say whatever the new “Americans” did is probably why there are no more of the “old Americans”

I don’t hate people for it

As well as geographic consequences

You're a historian eh

I’m not a historian, nor do I have interest in it so I’m not even really fit to talk about this topic

Fair enough

In history you learn blame games are counterproductive

I’m good at programming, science and maths and that’s about it

Yea the Americans systematically annihilated the natives, in my mind through superior knowledge of chemistry... which they used to poison the natives to death on a massive scale.

I never said my blame has any impact on how I view people

@mixmasterJ the west was a wasteland

And
I doubt it was poison
I’d say there was violence against them and that disease played a big role

Annihilation would be what the Spanish did to the Incas or Aztecs

One of my studies is the history of poison so I've formulated more than a few crazy theories

Their superior farming would have brought their population back up

But the Spanish put an end to that

But I basically believe that diseases and epidemics can be traced to natural "chemical" causes within the environment. In all cases. Basically the viewpoint of hippocrates and the like.
