We invaded to kill the natives. And gain nothing from doing so. What?

We invaded to take the land and resources moron

Spain didn't grant the land after a war, there was no war. Jackson simply invaded to attack the enemies that lived there

You Europeans always have some fetish for the Native Americans. You love pinning all of the genocide on the United States when at LEAST half of it was done by the Old World.

The US didn't go to war with Spain, they violated their sovereign territory to attack their enemy

spainards fear this man

The Cuban War?

ain't that like 100 years later?

We attacked you. We did that several times, we would raid your settlements.

speaking of the spanish american war, there's a funny story about how the american sortie sent to occupy guam asked the garrison for ammunition and then began shelling them

We were constantly raiding Spanish territory

@galesteppes Americans fear this man

We werent chasing slaves, you dont march troops for slaves when you can buy more

We were stealing your stuff

@Capitán Alatriste knock knock, it's the secret policia

Atlantic slave trade was illegal in the US, and they were angry at their slaves running off to Spanish lands where Slavery was illegal

So they decided to violate Spanish sovereignty and sent in an army

>spain

We didnt have to ship them in, we bred them

europeans have no power here

@EnderOctanus specially with the massa sperm

octoroons fetched a high price

Like Spain has never violated foreign sovereignty before lmao

Such as?

Spain did not ban slavery in it colonies not before 1886

Reconquista?

Nice holy wars you waged.

@Nordhand from the article you posted

Yes, as long as they converted to Catholicism, neat little catch you lot had.

Sure, but it didn't stop them

`Spain abolished slavery in Puerto Rico in 1873 and in Cuba in 1886`

Hm, kind of late isn't it?

Thats like right when we went to war for said territories

the main reason why slavery did end in Cuba in 1886 was that it did get it independence from Spain

Uhm Spain lost Cuba in 1898, slavery was already illegal by then

I mean come on man, I don't expect you to feel guilt over shit hundreds of years old, because we don't. But don't act like we started all the problems.

Well, it's not like I brought up this discussion
